Abstract
We tested the hypotheses that infants of maltreated mothers receive lower levels of linguistic stimulation at home, which are related to anomalous patterns of infant neural connectivity. Infants of maltreated mothers experienced reduced conversational turn-taking, which was uniquely associated with connectivity of the PCC and left superior frontal gyrus.
