The Neurobiology of Trauma
What happens to the brain during a sexual assault? How does trauma affect how victims behave during and after an assault?
Dr. Rebecca Campbell explains how the brain responds to trauma and the real-world, practical implications for first responders in law enforcement, nurses, prosecutors and victim advocates. She also discusses how research on the neurobiology of trauma can inform a longstanding problem in the criminal justice system — sexual assault case attrition.
