hi chatgpt, i was wondering about a medical question concerning infantile brain chemistry in the days immediately after birth. could a painful or traumatic experience cause malformation of the limbic system in the brain? how and why.  chatgpt said: chatgpt the early postnatal period is a critical time for brain development, particularly for areas like the limbic system, which plays a key role in emotional regulation, memory, and stress responses. painful or traumatic experiences during this time can significantly influence the development of the brain, although they are less likely to cause outright malformations in structure (e.g., visible physical deformities). instead, the effects are typically functional and involve alterations in neural connectivity, neurochemistry, and gene expression. how and why trauma affects the limbic system
