The Effect of Childhood Trauma on Brain Structure and Function
This paper examines how childhood trauma affects brain structure and function, with lasting consequences for emotional regulation, memory, and stress response. It argues that adverse childhood experiences can alter key brain regions such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, increasing vulnerability to mental health challenges later in life. At the same time, the paper…

Understanding the Architecture of the Brain: An Introduction to DTI
There are many methods for studying the brain, from literally slicing it to look at it under a microscope to injecting radioactive tracers into it to see where a particular neurotransmitter is located. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively newer approach to studying the brain, but what is this method, exactly?
