PTSD in children alters brain development. Alterations in fronto-limbic circuits - contribute to increased threat reactivity and weaker emotion regulation -neuroanatomical/neurofunctional consequences of PTSD include declining hippocampal volumes, increasing amygdala, reactivity and declining amygdala prefrontal coupling with age.
Lockdown/quarantine: data suggest disruptions in brain development caused by social isolation. There are reciprocal relationships between social interactions and brain development. Disruptions caused by social isolation potentially influences the onset of psychiatric disorders.
