Martin Teicher, noted researcher of the neurobiology of child abuse, finds in an MRI study of 265 maltreated 18-25 year-olds that “Maltreatment was associated with decreased centrality in regions involved in emotional regulation and ability to accurately attribute thoughts or intentions to others … This may provide a potential mechanism for how maltreatment increases risk for psychopathology.” Results were published online today in Biological Psychiatry.

Alright.
Now I want to see information about how maltreatment effects and impacts the heart, stomach, intestines, rectum, liver, mammary glands, teeth, tongue, bones, feet, eyes, ears, skin, spine, blood, gall bladder, pancreas, lungs, penis and vagina.
Thanks.
