Aggression And Self-Harm Could Be Due To Early Childhood Trauma: Study Reveals How Brain Rewires Itself

A new study revealed that childhood trauma could rewire’ your brain, the researchers suggest that this could lead to aggressive and self-harming behavior. The study, led by Assistant Professor Sora Shin, identified the specific brain pathway that changes after someone experiences trauma early in life. The results were published in the journal Science Advances. The researchers explained that their findings suggest that aggression and self-harm, while looking different on the outside, might actually come from the same place in the brain. They might both be a result of how the brain deals with pain signals. Can Trauma Change Your Brain? The new discovery is crucial because it’s the first time scientists have found a real biological process that explains how trauma, feeling sensitive to pain,
