Thalamus Location: Part of the forebrain, below the corpus callosum Function: • Responsible for relaying information from the sensory receptors to proper areas of the brain where it can be processed • The thalamus is similar to a doctor that diagnoses, or identifies, a patient's disease or sickness. • It diagnoses different sensory information that is being transmitted to the brain including auditory (relating to hearing or sound), visual, tactile (relating to touch), and gustatory (relating to taste) signals. • After that, it directs the sensory information to the different parts and lobes of the cortex. • If this part of the brain is damaged, all sensory information would not be processed and sensory confusion would result. The Pons Location: Area of the hindbrain that sits directly above the medulla Function: • Connects upper and lower parts of the brain • The Pons serves as a message station between several areas of the brain. • It helps relay messages from the cortex and the cerebellum. • Without the pons, the brain would not be able to function because messages would not be able to be transmitted, or passed along. • It also plays a key role in sleep and dreaming, where REM sleep, or the sleeping state where dreaming is most likely to occur, has been proven to originate here, in the pons 12
Relational and Developmental Trauma Complex/Relational Trauma or Developmental Trauma Disorder — describes how children's exposure to multiple or prolonged traumatic events impacts their ongoing development. Complex trauma is: • Chronic • Begins in early childhood Occurs within the child's primary caregiving system and/or social environment • Exposure to these initial traumatic experiences, the resulting emotional dysregulation, and the loss of safety, direction, and the ability to detect or respond to danger cues may impact a child's development over time and can lead to subsequent or repeated trauma exposure in adolescence and adulthood without supports that might buffer the negative effects • Typically, complex trauma exposure involves the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of child maltreatment and may include psychological maltreatment, neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and witnessing domestic violence.
