Early life adversity is associated with greater similarity in neural representations of ambiguous and threatening stimuli
NM Saragosa-Harris, JFG Moreira… - Development and …, 2024 - cambridge.org
Exposure to early life adversity (ELA) is hypothesized to sensitize threat-responsive neural
circuitry. This may lead individuals to overestimate threat in the face of ambiguity, a cognitive …

Neural representations of ambiguous affective stimuli and resilience to anxiety in emerging adults
The tendency to interpret ambiguous stimuli as threatening has been associated with a
range of anxiety disorders. Responses to ambiguity may be particularly relevant to mental …
