| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether and how childcare training affects brain responses to infants’ facial expressions among young females studying to become preschool teachers. The participants went through fMRI scanning twice: before and after the childcare training session. They were presented with happy, neutral, and sad infant faces one by one during fMRI scanning. The present neuroimaging results revealed that the activity patterns of the left superior temporal sulcus (STS) for sad faces were modulated by the interaction between the time point of the data collection and group differences. The present results are the first to highlight the effects of childcare training on the human brain.
