Disrupted brain pathway, altered stress hormones key to TBI impact differences in men, women

The brains of men and women are wired differently, and when it comes to traumatic brain injuries (TBI), women are more likely to develop subsequent neuropsychiatric disorders, like anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Until now, it's been unclear why that is, but a new study provides that missing link - a potentially disrupted pathway in the brain.
