After training a machine learning model on the patients’ functional brain images and clinical assessments, the researchers found that the model was able to predict an individual’s PTSD symptom ...

Trauma significantly alters brain structure, leading to PTSD symptoms like hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, and memory issues, but targeted therapies can help survivors heal and regain control.

PTSD experts agree that the condition has its roots in very real, physical processes within the brain – and not some sort of psychological “weakness”. But no clear consensus has emerged ...

How trauma impacts brain development The development and functioning of the three brains rely on our childhood experiences. This includes early attachment figures like caregivers, conditions in ...

Brain MRI in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) revealed that the structural connectome showed a shift toward "regularization," providing a structural basis for functional ...

PTSD has an epigenetic dimension in women but not men. A gene associated with PTSD is epigenetically expressed in women but not men—just as predicted by the imprinted brain theory.

Using advanced calculations, the ability of these patterns to predict the severity of PTSD symptoms was examined over the three time points to understand how early brain connectivity can serve as ...

A proposed neurocircuitry model of PTSD involves the amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and hippocampus. According to Hughes and Shin (2011), "the amygdala is hyperresponsive, leading to ...
