The Effect of Childhood Trauma on Brain Development

According to the Centers for Disease Control, adults were sexually abused at a rate of one in three, one in five, at some point in their childhood. Child abuse is a vicious circle. After a child is abused it can hinder their ability to succeed in life. An example of this would be an abused adult because the probability of a child being abused is twice as likely. Most people in prison are abused as children. It is no wonder why trauma in childhood affects person's personality and brain so much.

Any trauma as a child can leave traces on your body and mind. If the trauma is terrible and lasting, it also affects the structure of the child's brain. As a child, your brain is busy with growth and development. If the wound confuses the process, the result can be very catastrophic. However, as you grow in a traumatic environment, your brain grows to help you survive in its surroundings. The nerve pathway functioning in this dysfunctional environment will be underdeveloped, but the other pathways are not very developed. Child trauma destroys the correct formation of these pathways and trauma occurring in the second half of life changes the way the approach is refined.

Developmental trauma and dysregulation of the biological stress system can adversely affect child's brain development. Recently, in the field of neuroscience, as it becomes increasingly recognized that gender is a host of important experiences, we review peer-reviewed publications (if any) that emphasize gender differences throughout the process. Little is known about neurobiology, genetics, and epigenetic effects of childhood trauma compared to adults with trauma history. Since long-term psychobiology of child trauma is a field of serious research shortage, most of our comments are based on cross-sectional research. Then we will provide advice for the direction of the future

Abuse may cause trauma and injury during brain development. In addition, Perry (2009) points out that the majority of the major structural and functional organizations occur in childhood and by the age of 3, the brain has reached 90% of the adult size. In the meantime, what your child experienced will last a lifetime. The psychological impact of CPSA includes strong fear, depression, and anger. The victim is also under the long-term influence of trauma after trauma
