Abstract
The amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are brain regions important for emotion regulation throughout development. We used resting-state fMRI to examine the contribution of levels of antenatal and current maternal depression to amygdala–ACC connectivity in 6-month-old infants. Only levels of antenatal depression predicted increased amygdala–ACC connectivity.
