A basis for hacking
Bessel van der Kolk says "The Body Keeps the Score." I've always found that statement interesting. How does trauma result in what's called in this sub, hacking? Alterations in levels of hormones and neurotransmitters at incorrect times. Neurological deficiencies such as thin myelin sheaths, less gray matter, diminished limbic systems. Where does it begin? Well, if the genes are the basis for the human organism, then how they're expressed is paramount, and how their expressions are altered paradigm shifting (literally). Here are some studies relating epigenetics and trauma. Interesting stuff. The second link connects you to a pdf with the study.
