Summary
The quality of the caregiving environment is one of the most impactful elements on youth’s development, with evidence suggesting these experiences are embedded at the neural level. This chapter reviews empirical research characterizing relations between parenting and child and adolescent brain development with respect to a full continuum of maladaptive to adaptive parenting behavior. We consider evidence directly linking parental factors on neural indices of development, as well as growing evidence characterizing individual differences in neurobiological susceptibility to the caregiving environment. We conclude with a discussion of future directions for this research.
