so im reading about the effects of abuse on the brain, and how parts of the brain (hippocampus, amygdala, brainstem and pons) differ in size based on the abuse
HOWEVER
there are studies that show that the different types of abuse that can be caught up by the sensory system, affects different parts of the brain.
so
people who have been witness to violence in the home, might have a change in the visual system.
and people who have been subject to verbal abuse, have a change in the auditory part of the brain ._.
so u can literally look at someones brain and see what type of abuse they have been subject to.
psychology is so fascinating...
