Abstract

Prenatal maternal stress is widespread and is a predictor of many childhood psychopathologies. This article presents an analysis of scientific publications devoted to the study of the ontogenetic effect of prenatal maternal stress on child brain maturation. A systematic review was conducted of available direct measures of brain development under stress, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI. Directions for future research in this topic are also proposed.
