Understanding trauma-induced hippocampal subfield volume changes in the context of age and health

Abstract

There is an urgent need to integrate the findings converging from different perspectives examining hippocampal volume changes both overall but in particular within its subfields in relation to childhood trauma and illness. We comment on a recent paper's findings and link these to our own research in an effort to provide impetus to this endeavor.
