Associations between early life adversity and the development of gray matter macrostructure and microstructure
Parental acceptance and trauma resilience are linked to accelerated pace of apparent cortical thinning in youth aged 9-13 years, while household abuse is associated with slower microstructural development, as reflected by smaller longitudinal changes in the T1w/T2w ratio. Threat and deprivation may be distinctly associated with gray matter developmental trajectories in late childhood.
