Explanation / Answer

A study by Carrion, Weems and Reiss (2007) found that childhood post traumatic stress disorder or high levels of cortisol resulted in a decreased size of the hippocampus, an area of the brain that is related to the processing of memory and emotions. The researchers studied 15 children (between 7 to 13 years) for a period of 12 to 18 months. These children were diagnosed with PTSD from exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Their volume of the hippocampus was measured at the beginning and end of the study period and it was found that the decrease in the size of the hippocampus was related to the severity of the PTSD symbols as well the cortisol levels in the blood stream.
