Interview
Childhood trauma and its multigenerational impact on the brain
Leland Fleming is a postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab of Kerry Ressler at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital. Fleming investigates the long-term impacts of childhood trauma on the brain and overall aging.
Digital Editor Annie Coulson spoke with Fleming at the Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting, Neuroscience 2023, about how an individual’s childhood trauma affects them in adulthood. He is also interested in researching whether trauma can be transmitted to the next generation, either biologically or through behaviors, such as parenting behaviors.
