Developmental abnormalities of the brain exposed to childhood maltreatment detected by diffusion tensor imaging.

CONCLUSION: The observed altered diffusion characteristics indicate attendant developmental abnormalities within the white matter structures, which are associated with the observed clinical and behavioral patterns including dissociative experiences and coordination symptoms in individuals exposed to CM. The study provides objective evidence regarding the effects of CM on brain microstructure. PMID: 30213254 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
