Emotional anticipation after delivery – a longitudinal neuroimaging study of the postpartum period

Abstract Neuroimaging research has begun to unveil the mechanisms behind emotion processing during the postpartum period, which, in turn, may be of relevance for the development of postpartum depression. The present study sought to longitudinally investigate the neural correlates of emotion anticipa...
