Some findings are that regular practice may weaken the limbic systems's reactivity via lower firing rate and neuronal power, strengthen the
frontal and prefrontal executive / emotional functions via better intention, attention, awareness, and concentration, and possibly improve right - left
brain integration.
Nevertheless, we expected the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and
frontal connectivity to be more apparent at later stages of infant development, since the functional
integration of
brain regions may develop later than that of individual
brain structures.
In conclusion, our study utilized a large longitudinal Asian sample and provided the first evidence on progressive influences of the fluctuation of maternal depressive symptoms from pregnancy to early postnatal period, first on the EEG activity of the
frontal region and then on its functional
integration across the
brain in the later stage.
