Fig. 4. Association of 2nd trimester cortisol and hippocampal connectivity.

Fig. 4

a Higher maternal cortisol associated with weaker connectivity between the left hippocampus and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and with stronger connectivity between the left hippocampus and left temporal lobe. b Higher maternal cortisol associated with weaker connectivity between the right hippocampus and the dACC, with weaker connectivity between the right hippocampus and the insula, and with stronger connectivity between the right hippocampus and left temporal lobe. Scatterplots next to the images visualize the distribution of the observed data points for average infant connectivity in the detect regions plotted against maternal cortisol during the 2nd trimester.
