Fig. 3: Associations prenatal experiences of discrimination and offspring amygdala connectivity.

Neonates born to mothers experiencing discrimination had weaker connectivity between the amygdala and the medial and anterior prefrontal cortices and stronger connectivity the amygdala and the left fusiform gyrus. Scatterplots next to the images visualize the distribution of the observed data points for average infant connectivity in the detected regions plotted against EOD. Models adjusted for other stressors (PSS, RADS, CTQ, SES) remained significant.
