Neurodevelopmental origins of abnormal cortical morphology in dissociative identity disorder

As CT and SA have distinct genetic and developmental origins, our findings may indicate that different neurobiological mechanisms and environmental factors impact on cortical morphology in DID, such as early childhood traumatization.
