Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Childhood maltreatment is a transdiagnostic risk factor, whose distributed neural correlates are most timely and urgently assessed in young adults in the earliest stages of emerging mental disorders. Here, we applied a data-driven multivariate approach to identify distributed brain structural signatures associated with childhood maltreatment, with a particular focus on limbic regions, and to examine their relevance for later functional outcomes. In a transdiagnostic sample of 251 individuals (mean age 24.9 ± 4.3, 51.8% male) with early affective or anxiety syndromes, we used a multivariate sparse partial least squares algorithm to investigate multi-layered associations between grey-matter volume and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire.
