How does trauma affect the brain and its functions?

Neurophysician Dr Bhakti Gajjar explains that the brain is our command centre, regulating thoughts, emotions, and actions. Trauma can significantly impact brain regions like the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, affecting memory, fear response, and emotional regulation. Neuroimaging techniques like MRI and PET scans reveal these changes, guiding targeted treatments for better recovery.
