Fig. 1. Differences in longitudinal change in gray matter structure by group.

(A) Regions with increased thinning between 9 and 16 years of age for children randomly assigned to foster care relative to those in care as usual. (B) Regions with accelerated thinning for children randomly assigned to foster care before 24 months of age, relative to those randomly assigned after 24 months of age. (C) A region in the ventral medial PFC that showed significant decreases in surface area from 8 to 16 years for children randomly assigned to foster care before 24 months of age, relative to those randomly assigned after 24 months of age.
