Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extreme stress leading to brain damage and reducing the volume of the hippocampus has been documented in various groups, including Vietnam combat veterans with PTSD, childhood abuse trauma victims, and torture victims, due to the intense and prolonged nature of their stress. However, there is no specific mention or evidence that suggests tornado victims, as a broad group, experience this specific type of brain damage solely due to experiencing a tornado, as the stressors in such situations may not always be as prolonged or intense as in the other mentioned scenarios.
