A note for Lesson no. 3, "Little Brains Wire Themselves to Their World," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 59 is:

When children are persistently neglected, in all likelihood they’ll suffer ill effects eventually.

See these references.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

In addition, exposure to threat (separate from neglect and deprivation) is associated with speeded biological aging in children and adolescents, particularly girls.[7][8][9][10]
