Document Summary
Early experiences set neuro independent systems, their systems are behaving differently. The subtle and sometimes not so subtle changes brain function changes how they perceive the world. Low level perceptual stimuli, there"s variation on how you perceive that that links back to these stressful environments. We can look @ extreme cases of abuse let"s say, and the effects are there. But it"s interesting the same series of mechanisms may be in place for subclinical populations. It"s not just about someone who is abused in institutions everyday but also people who are normal. The degree to which these systems are altered may be because of their adversity. There are certain parts of the brain that are activated when we do an action. It says that your own motor activity causes certain neurons to fire that also fire when those neurons perceive that activity.
