In the babies of those women who developed post-traumatic stress syndrome, or PTSD, following their ordeal, researchers discovered a biological marker of susceptibility to PTSD -- an effect that was most pronounced in infants whose mothers experienced the catastrophe in their third trimester.
Copiii acelor femei, care au dezvoltat sindromul stresului posttraumatic, sau SSTP dupǎ chinul trăit, prezentau un indiciu biologic de predispoziţie la SSPT - care era mai pronunţat la copiii ai cǎror mame au trăit catastrofa în al III-lea trimestru de sarcinǎ.
