Overview

Observational analysis finds decreased EEG power in infants linked to higher maternal perceived stress.

Key Points

  • Higher maternal perceived stress is linked to reduced absolute theta power in infants shortly after birth.
  • Findings showed significant associations, with lower alpha power observed related to increased maternal perceived stress.
  • The investigation included a diverse sample of mother-infant dyads, with pediatric assessments conducted at 1 month.
  • These results suggest a potential impact of maternal stress on early brain development in infants.
