developing mental illness, suggesting a possible association between stress exposure and …

Increased stress reactivity during adolescence coincides with maturation of cognitive
abilities and development of the prefrontal cortex. Although the effects of early-life, chronic …

BackgroundExposure to threat-related early life stress (ELS) has been related to
