Relationships, Human Behavior, and Psychological Science (2004, background): “Research with nonhuman species and with human children reared in orphanages with inadequate care arrangements has shown that even minor deprivation of contact with responsive individuals results in abnormal development of the brain and hormonal systems that regulate coping with stress (Gunnar, 2000)”
Antenatal maternal anxiety and stress and the neurobehavioural development of the fetus and child: links and possible mechanisms. A review. (2005, background): “attachment and parenting style) [78,79], all these longterm results again support a prenatal programming hypothesis.”
The developing brain and neural plasticity: Implications for normality, psychopathology, and resilience. (2015, background): “Research with humans has similarly demonstrated that adverse early experiences may lead to the development of abnormal brain structures and functioning and sensitize developing neural networks to stressful experiences (Gunnar, 2000).”
Associations between parents' marital functioning, maternal parenting quality, maternal emotion and child cortisol levels (2007, background): “Any of these psychological threats, or combinations thereof, could result in more frequent or prolonged elevations of the HPA-axis, which in turn could cause changes in the underlying neurobiological regulation of cortisol levels (Carlson & Earls, 1997; De Bellis et al., 1999; Gunnar, 2000).”
Temperament theory and the study of cognition-emotion interactions across development (2007, background): “Evidence also indicates that either neurotransmitter activity (Rogeness & McClure, 1996) or the physiological systems that can influence neurotransmitter activity are sensitive to contextual characteristics (e.g., neurohormonal systems: Gunnar, 2000).”
Father absence, parental care, and female reproductive development (2003, background): “children’s stress (cortisol) (Gunnar, 2000; Gunnar & Donzella, 2002), and children of single mothers tend to have elevated cortisol levels (Flinn, Quinlan, Turner, Decker, & England, 1996).”
Enhancing Cognitive and Social–Emotional Development Through a Simple-to-Administer Mindfulness-Based School Program for Elementary School Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2015, background): “…from A.M. to P.M.) to an attenuated diurnal decrease in cortisol from morning to afternoon has been recognized as indicative of neuroendocrine dysregulation (Gunnar, 2000; Gunnar & Vazquez, 2001) and has been found among children experiencing chronic stress (Bevans, Cerbone, & Overstreet, 2008).”
The neurobiology of stress and development. (2007, background): “The impact of physiological stress reactions on the developing brain may be of particular note, helping to explain how adverse rearing experiences heighten the risk of behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents (Gunnar 2000, Heim & Nemeroff 2001, Sanchez et al. 2001).”
