The evidence Dr. Rolly may have seen on brain scans to come to the conclusion that Daniel does not have PTSD is that there is normal activity in the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex.

Furthermore, the size of the hippocampus is typical and no aberrations were observed, for these reasons social worker Dr. Rolly concluded that Daniel does not have PTSD.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur when people who have gone through some shocking event, like Daniel, witness a violent crime. Trauma is a risk factor for PTSD, which can cause physical and brain damage to the individual.

Therefore, in individuals with PTSD, failures in the hippocampus and medial frontal cortex can be observed to dampen trauma-related symptoms.
