How Trauma Effects the Brain
This pin describes how trauma affects the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. When there is potential threat, the amygdala will connect with the hippocampus to activate the automatic nervous system (ANS) for action. The pre-frontal cortex is the last to wake up to this threat as the body responds immediately before the prefrontal cortex can think logically about it.
