BENGALURU, India, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A team of scientists from India have studied how a single episode of severe stress can lead to delayed and long-term psychological trauma.
The research has shown that a single stressful incident can lead to increased electrical activity in the region of the brain known as the amygdala. The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped group of nerve cells located deep in the temporal lobe and plays a key role in emotional reactions, memory and decision making.
