Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
The 2007 TRCNC meeting focused on the
extent to which assessing the neurobiology of stress and negative
emotionality may help to explicate pathways through which early
experiences impact the development of emotional and behavioral
problems among children who have experienced neglect. Invited
speakers examined the impact of early neglect and deprivation on
stress and emotion as well as on the capacity of supportive caregiving
to foster recovery from early adversity. Presentations described
research based on nonhuman studies, as well as research on children
reared in institutions, and those neglected in their families of
origin. Members of the Federal Child Neglect Research Consortium made scientific presentations, since a number of the grants
include assessments of neurobiological consequences of childhood
neglect.
