Parenting, Stress Physiology, and Health: Uncovering the Mechanisms

Saturday, May 26, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Biological/Neuroscience

The origins of physical and mental health across the lifespan are influenced by interpersonal experiences during childhood and adolescence. However, a remaining challenge is to identify the specific mechanisms by which this occurs. This symposium presents novel findings from multisystem studies that can elucidate a mechanistic understanding of these relationships.
