This article includes well-cited sources as well as a research study on the relationship between PTSD and the shrinking of the hippocampus. The article begins with the nutgraf as well as a source from a medical journal, thus grabbing the reader's attention early on. It goes on to explain how PTSD is thought to have a dramatic effect on the function of the hippocampus. The only ethical issue that I see is that the study and the article is about children. However, that is more of an issue for the study and not so much for the article.
