MRI shows that people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a cerebellum about 2% smaller than adults without the condition, especially in areas that influence emotion and memory, according to a study published January 10 in Molecular Psychiatry. The cerebellum coordinates movement and balance and influences emotion and memory. But it's unclear whether a smaller cerebellum makes a person vulnerable to PTSD or whether PTSD shrinks this particular brain region, noted a team led by Ashley
