The child's face is a particularly salient stimulus for the human being, as a source of communication on the emotional state of the child and on how the adult must modulate himself to interact with the child and his needs. Numerous studies have observed that nulliparous mothers and women show different neural activation patterns in response to emotionally charged infant faces. This study aims to relate this difference in neural response between primiparous mothers and nulliparous women to emotionally charged infant faces with their scores on the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). We expect that measures of empathy will correlate positively with the activation of the social cognition network, consisting of: ventral premotor cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, superior temporal sulcus, inferior parietal lobule, temporo-parietal junction, anterior and posterior cingulate cortex, bilateral anterior insula and amygdala
Il volto infantile è uno stimolo particolarmente saliente per l'essere umano, in quanto foriero di comunicazioni sullo stato emozionale del bambino e su come l'adulto debba modularsi per entrare in interazione con il bambino e i suoi bisogni. Numerosi studi hanno osservato come madri e donne nullipare mostrino pattern di attivazione neurale diversa in risposta a volti infantili a valenza emotiva. Questo studio si pone l'obiettivo di mettere in relazione questa differenza nella risposta neurale tra madri primipare e donne nullipare a volti infantili a valenza emotiva con i loro punteggi all'Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Ci aspettiamo che le misure di empatia correlino positivamente con l'attivazione del network della cognizione sociale, costituito da: corteccia premotoria ventrale, giro frontale inferiore, solco temporale superiore, lobulo parietale inferiore, giunzione temporo-parietale, corteccia cingolata anteriore e posteriore, insula anteriore bilaterale e amigdala
Differenze empatiche tra madri primipare e donne nullipare modulano la risposta neurale a volti infantili emozionali

Abstract
The child's face is a particularly salient stimulus for the human being, as a source of communication on the emotional state of the child and on how the adult must modulate himself to interact with the child and his needs. Numerous studies have observed that nulliparous mothers and women show different neural activation patterns in response to emotionally charged infant faces. This study aims to relate this difference in neural response between primiparous mothers and nulliparous women to emotionally charged infant faces with their scores on the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). We expect that measures of empathy will correlate positively with the activation of the social cognition network, consisting of: ventral premotor cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, superior temporal sulcus, inferior parietal lobule, temporo-parietal junction, anterior and posterior cingulate cortex, bilateral anterior insula and amygdalaFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
