Stress before Birth Affects Midlife Brain Circuits Differently in the Sexes
Goldstein’s team observe the brain’s stress response circuitry using a negative stress reactivity task. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) depicts brain regions that light up in response to negative stressful stimuli: hypothalamus (green), hippocampus (royal blue), medial prefrontal cortex (magenta), amygdala (red), periaqueductal gray (light blue) and orbitofrontal cortex (yellow) [Jill Goldstein].
