ASSOCIATIONS OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA AND ADULT RESILIENCE WITH HIPPOCAMPAL VOLUME IN LATE MIDLIFE

Based on theories of adult development, Helson and Srivastava (2001) developed a model of different adult development pathways. Using data from 1199 participants in the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging, we examined associations between adult development paths in men exposed to childhood trauma and hippocampal volume in late midlife. We predicted trauma-exposed men in the low-resilience group would have smaller hippocampal volume. Like Helson and...
