TL;DR: The meta-analysis findings indicate that the amygdala, a key region for emotion processing, exhibits valence-dependent sex differences in activation to emotional stimuli, which suggests that greater amygdala responses reported previously for men for specific types of positive stimuli may also extend to positive stimuli more generally.

TL;DR: A GWAS from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium is reported in which two risk loci in European ancestry and one locus in African ancestry individuals are identified and it is found that PTSD is genetically correlated with several other psychiatric traits.

TL;DR: This large-scale neuroimaging consortium study on PTSD conducted by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium-Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) PTSD Working Group represents an important milestone in an ongoing collaborative effort to examine the neurobiological underpinnings of PTSD and the brain's response to trauma.

TL;DR: This is the first study to show that the amygdala response may be accompanied by disruption of an amygdala-vmPFC functional circuit that is hypothesized to be involved in prefrontal cortical regulation of amygdala responsivity.

TL;DR: In this article, an error in the spelling of the author Jennifer S. Stevens, which was incorrectly given as Jennifer J.Stevens, was identified and corrected by the authors.
