Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the relationship between dissociation, a common trauma response, and the microstructure of white matter (WM) in the brain, particularly looking at how brain connectivity may be affected in trauma-exposed women.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 135 women to examine how different facets of dissociation related to fractional anisotropy (FA), a measure of WM integrity, finding significant negative correlations between FA and overall dissociation across several important brain tracts.
- - The results suggest that greater severity of dissociation is associated with reduced WM integrity in areas linked to sensory processing, emotional regulation, and memory, highlighting potential targets for therapy and neuromodulation interventions.
