In adolescence, parental care is associated with lower depression symptoms whereas parental overprotection is associated with greater depression symptoms, effects which may be mediated by adolescent brain activity and connectivity. The present study examined associations between perceived parenting, brain activity and connectivity, and depression symptoms in adolescents from Brazil, a middle-income country (MIC). Analyses included 100 adolescents who underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning while completing a face matching task. Parental care and overprotection were associated with adolescent depression symptoms in expected directions. We also found that parental care and overprotection were associated with amygdala connectivity with several brain regions; however, amygdala activity was not associated with parenting and neither activity or connectivity mediated the association between parenting and depression symptoms. Results identify how parenting influences brain function and depression symptoms in youth from a MIC.
在青春期,父母关爱与较低的抑郁症状相关,而父母过度保护则与较高的抑郁症状相关,这些影响可能由青少年的大脑活动和连通性介导。本研究调查了来自中等收入国家巴西的青少年中,感知到的养育方式、大脑活动和连通性与抑郁症状之间的关联。分析纳入了100名青少年,他们在完成面部匹配任务时接受了功能磁共振成像扫描。父母关爱和过度保护与青少年抑郁症状的关联符合预期方向。我们还发现,父母关爱和过度保护与杏仁核与几个脑区的连通性相关;然而,杏仁核活动与养育方式无关,且活动或连通性均未介导养育方式与抑郁症状之间的关联。研究结果确定了在中等收入国家中,养育方式如何影响青少年的大脑功能和抑郁症状。
