Early Head Start Services Improve Infants’ Cortisol Regulation and Recovery
Improving Infants’ Stress-Induced Cortisol Regulation through Attachment-Based Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial Author: Berlin LJ, et al. (2019), Psychoneuroendocrinology. ABSTRACT Attachment-based parenting interventions have shown positive effects on early cortisol regulation, a key biomarker. Evaluations to date have focused on diurnal cortisol production in high-risk infants. It is important to understand whether attachment-based intervention may […]
Stress associated with higher salivary CRP levels in infants
Association between early life adversity and inflammation during infancy. Author: David J, et al. (2017), Dev Psychobiol.
