A brain area called the anterior circular sulcus was larger among boys who had symptoms of a trauma, compared to who didn't.
But among girls in the study, this brain region was smaller among those who had trauma symptoms.
The region is associated with emotional awareness and empathy, the researchers said.
A potential explanation for these results is that “exposure to traumatic stress may impact brain development rates” differently in boys than in girls.
There are structural differences between the sexes in one region of the brain called insula.
