The parent–adolescent relationship is important for adolescents’ emotion regulation (ER), yet little is known regarding the neural patterns of dyadic ER that occur during parent–adolescent interactions. A novel measure that can be used to examine such patterns is cross-brain connectivity (CBC)—concurrent and time-lagged connectivity between two individuals’ brain regions. This study sought to provide evidence of CBC and explore associations between CBC, parenting, and adolescent internalizing symptoms. Thirty-five adolescents (mean age = 15 years, 69% female, 72% Non-Hispanic White, 17% Black, 11% Hispanic or Latino) and one biological parent (94% female) completed an fMRI hyperscanning conflict discussion task. Results revealed CBC between emotion-related brain regions. Exploratory analyses indicated CBC is associated with parenting and adolescent depressive symptoms.

进入未知：检查父母与青少年互动的神经表征

父母与青少年的关系对于青少年的情绪调节 (ER) 很重要，但对于在父母与青少年互动期间发生的二元 ER 的神经模式知之甚少。一种可用于检查此类模式的新方法是跨脑连接 (CBC)——两个人大脑区域之间的并发和时滞连接。本研究旨在提供 CBC 的证据，并探讨 CBC、养育和青少年内化症状之间的关联。35 名青少年（平均年龄 = 15 岁，69% 女性，72% 非西班牙裔白人，17% 黑人，11% 西班牙裔或拉丁裔）和一名亲生父母（94% 女性）完成了 fMRI 超扫描冲突讨论任务。结果揭示了与情绪相关的大脑区域之间的CBC。
