While trauma is mainly associated with smaller thalamic volume, severe symptoms and comorbid PTSD+MDD was linked to higher thalamic volume. This partly reconciles prior conflicting findings and suggests additional neurobiological mechanisms may be involved in patients with severe symptoms. /2

I just don't see the motivation for claiming this process cant be fully described by the fundamental laws. In my mind its a higher-level description that nonetheless supervenes on the low-level laws. In a sense, the low laws "miss the forest for the trees", but still can fully articulate the forest.
