Neurodevelopment is a growing field! This is so good! For over 40 years I keep seeing a steady increase of interest. So good! 😊
Childhood Trauma Rewires the Brain Through Inflammation
Early life adversity can biologically embed itself in the brain, leading to structural changes and long-term disruptions in immune responses.
These changes increase susceptibility to psychiatric disorders like depression and bipolar disorder well into adulthood.
Using tools like neuroimaging and genetic analysis, researchers have linked childhood trauma to chronic neuroinflammation.
This inflammation, rather than resolving after the traumatic event, can become a long-standing biological vulnerability.
Recognizing these biological patterns offers opportunities for earlier intervention.
Future therapies could target these immune changes to prevent mental illness before symptoms begin.
