Though rarely included in studies of parent-infant interactions, affectionate touch plays a unique and vital role infant development. Previous human rodent models have established that early consistent from caregiver confers wide-ranging holistic benefits for psychosocial neurophysiological We begin with an introduction to the pathways positive effects touch. Then, we provide brief review how tunes development somatosensory, autonomic (stress regulation), immune systems. Affective also foundational establishment social affiliative bonds behavior. These touch-related bonding are known be mediated primarily by oxytocin system, but activates mesocorticolimbic dopamine endogenous opioid systems which aid cognitive processes such as learning reward processing. conclude proposing essential pathway establishing maintaining interactional synchrony at behavioral neural levels.

Multimodal hyperscanning reveals that synchrony of body and mind are distinct in mother-child dyads

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 251, P. 118982 - 118982

Published: Feb. 8, 2022

Hyperscanning studies have begun to unravel the brain mechanisms underlying social interaction, indicating a functional role for interpersonal neural synchronization (INS), yet that drive INS are poorly understood. The current study, thus, addresses whether is functionally-distinct from synchrony in other systems - specifically autonomic nervous system and motor behavior. To test this, we used concurrent near-infrared spectroscopy electrocardiography recordings, while N = 34 mother-child stranger-child dyads engaged cooperative competitive tasks. Only domain was higher compared observed. Further, were positively related during competition but not cooperation. These results suggest different behavioral biological may reflect distinct processes. Furthermore, they show increased unlikely be explained solely by shared arousal similarities, supporting recent theories postulate close relationships.

Coregulation: A Multilevel Approach via Biology and Behavior

Children, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(8), P. 1323 - 1323

Published: July 31, 2023

In this article, we explore the concept of coregulation, which encompasses mutual adaptation between partners in response to one another’s biology and behavior. Coregulation operates at both biological (hormonal nervous system) behavioral (affective cognitive) levels plays a crucial role development self-regulation. extends beyond actions individuals dyad involves interactive contributions partners. We use as an example parent–child is pervasive expected, it emerges from shared genetic relatedness, cohabitation, continuous interaction, influence common factors like culture, facilitate interpersonal coregulation. also highlight emerging field neural attunement, investigates coordination brain-based activities individuals, particularly social interactions. Understanding mechanisms significance attunement adds new dimension our understanding coregulation its implications for relationships child development.

Quantification of inter-brain coupling: A review of current methods used in haemodynamic and electrophysiological hyperscanning studies

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 280, P. 120354 - 120354

Published: Sept. 4, 2023

Hyperscanning is a form of neuroimaging experiment where the brains two or more participants are imaged simultaneously whilst they interact. Within domain social neuroscience, hyperscanning increasingly used to measure inter-brain coupling (IBC) and explore how brain responses change in tandem during interaction. In addition cognitive research, some have suggested that quantification interplay between interacting can be as biomarker for variety mechanisms aswell investigate mental health developmental conditions including schizophrenia, anxiety autism. However, many different methods been quantify this lead questions about comparability across studies reduce research reproducibility. Here, we review quantifying IBC, suggest ways moving forward. Following PRISMA guidelines, reviewed 215 studies, four imaging modalities: functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), magnetic resonance (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) magnetoencephalography (MEG). Overall, identified total 27 compute IBC. The most common modality fNIRS, by 119 89 which adopted wavelet coherence. Based on results literature survey, first report summary statistics field, followed brief overview each signal obtained from hyperscanning. We then discuss rationale, assumptions suitability method modalities Finally, issues surrounding interpretation method.

Mother–Infant Brain-to-Brain Synchrony Patterns Reflect Caregiving Profiles

Biology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(2), P. 284 - 284

Biobehavioral synchrony, the coordination of physiological and behavioral signals between mother infant during social contact, tunes child's brain to world. Probing this mechanism from a two-brain perspective, we examine associations patterns mother-infant inter-brain synchrony two well-studied maternal orientations-sensitivity intrusiveness-which have repeatedly been shown predict positive negative socio-emotional outcomes, respectively. Using dual-electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, measure connectivity 60 mothers their 5- 12-month-old infants face-to-face interaction. Thirty connections show significantly higher correlations real interaction compared surrogate data. Brain-behavior indicate that sensitivity linked with greater neural whereas intrusiveness is associated lower coordination. Post hoc analysis reveals mother-right-frontal-infant-left-temporal connection particularly sensitive mother's style, while mother-left-frontal-infant-right-temporal indexes intrusive style. Our results support perspective by which mature brains externally regulate immature living suggest one pathway exert long-term effect may relate provision coordinated inputs its period maturation.

Visualizing the invisible tie: Linking parent–child neural synchrony to parents’ and children's attachment representations
