From: The neural development of empathy is sensitive to caregiving and early trauma
Neural empathic response. Preadolescents activated the SMA/MCC (right upper panel) in response to vicarious distress (masked for Pcluster-cor < 0.05), and the color bar represents masked significant t values. This activation was expressed as late alpha-band enhancement (left upper panel). The red blob represents the significant time-frequency window (Pcluster-cor < 0.05), and the color bar conveys the t values. This neural effect of empathy was not significantly different between the two groups (left lower panel), yet mother–child synchrony in early and late childhood mediated (**PFDR-cor < 0.05) the effects of trauma exposure on this neural effect (right lower panel). In the chart bars, points are laid over a SEM (95% confidence interval)
