Algorithmic Witnessing
The timeless human need to bear witness to trauma confronts a modern “crisis of listening”: a societal scarcity of capable listeners, caused by the emotional demands of the witnessing role, structural barriers, and the cultural silencing of certain narratives. This listening gap propels many individuals toward conversational AI, creating a need for a framework to analyze the new form of algorithmic listening to trauma. The present critical narrat…
Microbiome signature of posttraumatic stress disorder and resilience in youth
Our findings provide evidence that the trauma-associated microbiome profile is at least partially responsible for the anxiety component of the PTSD phenotype and highlight microbial underpinnings of resilience. Further, our results suggest that the microbiome may serve as additional biological memory of early life stress and underscore the potential for microbiome-related diagnosis and treatment following trauma.

Common model of stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in pregnant women from seven high-income Western countries at the Covid-19 pandemic onset
Women’s Depressive Symptoms during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has multiple ramifications for pregnant women. Untreated depression during pregnancy may have long-term effects on the mother and offspring. Therefore, delineating the effects of pregnancy on the mental health of reproductive-age women is crucial. This study aims to determine the risk for depressive symptoms in pregnant and non-pregnant women during COVID-19, and to identify its bio-psycho-social c…
The Neural Basis of Empathy and Empathic Behavior in the Context of Chronic Trauma
Background: Accumulating evidence in social neuroscience suggests that mature human empathy relies on the integration of two types of processes: a lower-order process mainly tapping into automatic and sensory mechanisms and a higher-order process involving affect and cognition and modulated by top-down control. Studies have also indicated that neural measures of empathy often correlate with behavioral measures of empathy. Yet, little is known on …
