Abstract in brief

  • The review focuses on how exposure to psychosocial adversity affects two brain structures, the hippocampus and amygdala, during development.
  • It emphasizes that the timing of adverse experiences and when brain measurements are taken are crucial for understanding differing research results.
  • Animal studies suggest that early life is a particularly sensitive period for stress effects, but the impact varies depending on the age when these changes are assessed.
