Abstract
To investigate potential associations between early life stress (ELS) and corticolimbic functioning, we examined resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of the amygdala (using fMRI) and cortisol response to a psychosocial stressor. Results show differences in RSFC between amygdala and lateral prefrontal cortex and blunted cortisol response in women with ELS.
