 Project Summary  Dorie A. Glover, Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2002) of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, is studying the relationship between infant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity and maternal postpartum depression. In adults, elevations in cortisol are associated with depressive symptoms; therefore, Dr. Glover will assess cortisol levels in babies of depressed vs. non-depressed mothers. The study will also investigate the relationship between cortisol levels and mother-child interactions indicating the level of attachment. Results will provide insight into the effects of maternal depression on the infant's HPS functioning and explore the influence of specific maternal behaviors.
