Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources 2.6 Functional MRI data analyses and statistical analyses: Statistical parametric mapping version 12 (SPM12) implemented in MATLAB R2017b was used to analyze functional MRI data.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Some limitations of our findings need to be addressed. Only a third of our initial sample was able to take part in all COVID-19 assessments. Moreover, despite the quick start, we were unable to include the first days of the lockdown, which might have exerted the greatest effects on perceived stress. However, since we were particularly interested in coping with stress burden caused by the crisis, this time period appears to be appropriate to capture stress burden given that previous studies found no differences when comparing well-being, anxiety and depression in the initial phase of the pandemic to four weeks later (Vindegaard & Benros, 2020). In the framework of an ongoing longitudinal study following at-risk participants since birth, we thus provide first evidence for the predictive value of neural underpinnings of emotion regulation during the first and second lockdown and cognitive regulation during the COVID-19 pandemic between both waves. These findings may inform future prevention strategies seeking to foster stress coping in unforeseen situations.
