Reduced prefrontal response to fearful faces in recent mothers with bipolar disorder and its association with mother-infant interaction and infant development

The absence of broader differences in neural activity or facial expression recognition accuracy might signal motherhood-related attenuation of emotional-cognitive difficulties in BD.
