First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looks at how trauma can be passed down within families—both through biology and behavior. Researchers will compare families who were directly exposed to the November 2015 Paris attacks with those who were not. About 960 parents and children will complete interviews, questionnaires, sleep tracking, and brain scans. The goal is to understand resilience and the effects of trauma across generations, not to test a treatment.
