Exposure to childhood maltreatment increases risk for mental health difficulties across generations, affecting the development of offspring. In particular, maternal exposure to childhood maltreatment can shape the neurobiological development of their offspring, especially in brain regions implicated in emotional health. However, relevant studies are cross-sectional, limiting our understanding of how maternal childhood maltreatment might affect offspring neurodevelopment. [...]
