According to from the National surveys shows that 9-28% of women had experienced some type of sexual abuse or assault in childhood. It is a fact that effects of the sexual abuse cause devastating effects on children and a risk factor for the development of adult psychopathology (CSA) . The study that had been done at the University of Manitoba and St. Boniface General Hospital Research Center studied the reduced hippocampal volume in victims of psychological trauma with post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and research to determine neurological causation of the victimized women who had severe sexual abuse in childhood. For women who had sexual abuse in childhood can be cause broad psychiatric disorders such as bulimia, anxiety disorders,

Related to this topic, there is still little research to support any evidence. According to from the research, experience of the sexual abuse stressors can cause the functional and morphological changes in the hippocampus in rodent and primates. Stress-induced raises of glucocorticoids augment the extracellular accumulation of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) such as glutamate which results in hippocampal damage at cytoarchitecture reduced cell sprouting, cause neural cell death and functionally affect the learning and memory. Related to the traumatic stress disorder causation on the hippocampus, the researchers exposure analogously affect hippocampal morphology and functioning. Also, collected data will help to focuses to determining the memory problems with the whether or not patients with PTSD. For this research, subjects were 21 adult females that experience the childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and 21 adult females who had no history of abuse. In the further step of the research, researchers had made an interview of the women …show more content…
Also, the researchers found that women with in the CSA subjects who had the severity of dissociating and other post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms correlated the significant change in the left hippocampal volume. These results had supported the relationship between the hippocampal dysfunction and post traumatic psychiatric symptoms. Furthermore, the evidence of the alcohol abuse and longstanding alcohol abuse can also lead the hippocampal volume loss. The hippocampal volume loss can lead also the dysfunction such as more difficult memory tasks or become more apparent as ageing
