when you examine children who had been adopted more than a year before from Romanian orphanages, the longer the child spent in the orphanage, the higher the resting glucocorticoid levels.* Similarly, children who have been abused have elevated glucocorticoid levels, and ==decreased size and activity== in the most highly evolved part of the brain, the frontal cortex.
