Positive parenting predicts the development of adolescent brain structure: A longitudinal study
Open accessAbstract
Little work has been conducted that examines the effects of positive environmental experiences on brain development to date. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the effects of positive (warm and supportive) maternal behavior on structural brain development during adolescence, using longitudinal structural MRI. Participants were 188 (92 female) adolescents, who were part of a longitudinal adolescent development study that involved mother-adolescent interactions and MRI scans at approximately 12 years old, and follow-up MRI scans approximately 4 years later. FreeSurfer software was used to estimate the volume of limbic-striatal regions (amygdala, hippocampus, caudate, putamen, pallidum, and nucleus accumbens) and the thickness of prefrontal regions (anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortices) across both time points. Higher frequency of positive maternal behavior during the interactions predicted attenuated volumetric growth in the right amygdala, and accelerated cortical thinning in the right anterior cingulate (males only) and left and right orbitofrontal cortices, between baseline and follow up. These results have implications for understanding the biological mediators of risk and protective factors for mental disorders that have onset during adolescence.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In a longitudinal community sample of adolescents, observed positive maternal behavior during a conflictual interaction predicted structural brain development from early to mid-adolescence, including reduced right amygdala growth and greater left/right OFC thinning. Effects were partly sex-specific for right ACC thinning in males and were not explained by aggressive maternal behavior.
Key findings
- Higher positive maternal behavior predicted reduced growth of the right amygdala (β = −0.284, p = 0.014) and greater thinning of the left and right OFC (β = −0.262, p = 0.024; β = −0.258, p = 0.022).
- Positive maternal behavior × sex predicted right ACC change (β = −0.311, p = 0.045); follow-up analyses showed greater right ACC thinning in males (β = −0.525, p = 0.007) but no association in females (β = 0.042, p = 0.789).
- Aggressive maternal behavior predicted increased growth of the right putamen (β = 0.306, p = 0.012); positive maternal behavior effects were not better explained by aggressive maternal behavior.
- Positive parenting was not associated with the structure of the majority of regions at baseline or follow-up (reported as Supplementary data).
Methods
- Participants were a community sample of 188 adolescents (92 females) from metropolitan Melbourne, Australia; 163 completed baseline mother–adolescent interaction tasks, and 102 had acceptable baseline and follow-up MRI data (mean follow-up = 3.78 years, SD = 0.20; baseline MRI age = 12.62, SD = 0.44; follow-up MRI age = 16.42, SD = 0.50).
- Mother–adolescent dyads completed videotaped event-planning and problem-solving interactions coded with the LIFE system; positive maternal behavior was taken from the problem-solving interaction and aggressive maternal behavior from the event-planning interaction. MRI was processed with FreeSurfer longitudinal stream for subcortical volumes (amygdala, hippocampus, caudate, nucleus accumbens, putamen, pallidum) and cortical thickness (ACC, OFC).
- Hierarchical linear regressions predicted residualized ROI change scores, with covariates age, SES, IQ, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and aggressive maternal behavior; positive maternal behavior and sex were entered next, followed by their interaction. Missing data were handled with FIML in Mplus.
Limitations
- Stated: only two imaging time points limited modeling to linear patterns of brain development, so non-linear effects and effects extending into late adolescence or adulthood could not be assessed.
- Stated: only one observed measure of positive parenting was used; fathers were not included; temperament-based sampling may restrict generalizability; no correction for multiple comparisons was applied; some FreeSurfer structures (particularly amygdala and nucleus accumbens) have relatively low reliability; multisite scanner/sequence bias was possible though post-acquisition procedures and an inter-scanner reliability assessment were used.
- Evident from the text: the observational longitudinal design cannot establish causal effects, and the MRI sample was 102 with complete-case analyses also run in 77 participants, which may limit power and generalizability alongside the temperament oversampling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
