BMI 2025: The Neuroscience of Attachment: Caregiver and Child

Introduction
Attachment is as much of a biological process as it is a social process. Parent-child attachment in particular has been linked to a number of brain processes that are associated with emotional regulation that guides the child’s development. Furthermore, parent-child attachment enhances parental scaffolding so that appropriate cognitive stimulation can be provided to the child to facilitate learning. Recent advances in neuroimaging methods allow for the measurement of parent-child brain coherence and enable a deeper understanding of the neurobiology of attachment. In this symposium, our speakers will provide us with an update on the latest research advances in the neuroscience of attachment and will discuss the practical implications of these findings for parents, teachers and clinicians.
