Exaggerated amygdala response to masked facial stimuli in posttraumatic stress disorder: a functional MRI study.

TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence for exaggerated amygdala responses to general negative stimuli in PTSD by using a probe that emphasizes automaticity and provides initial evidence of amygdala hyperresponsivity dissociated from the "top-down" influences of medial frontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in the Amygdala and Medial Prefrontal Cortex During Traumatic Imagery in Male and Female Vietnam Veterans With PTSD

TL;DR: A reciprocal relationship between medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala function in PTSD and opposing associations between activity in these regions and symptom severity consistent with current functional neuroanatomic models of this disorder are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

De novo conditioning in trauma-exposed individuals with and without posttraumatic stress disorder

TL;DR: Differential conditioning was assessed in 15 medication-free individuals meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria for chronic posttraumatic stress disorder and 18 trauma-exposed individuals who never developed PTSD (non-PTSD).
Journal ArticleDOI

An fMRI study of anterior cingulate function in posttraumatic stress disorder

TL;DR: Findings suggest a diminished response in rostral anterior cingulate cortex in the presence of emotionally relevant stimuli in PTSD, speculate that diminished recruitment of this region in PTSD may, in part, mediate symptoms such as distress and arousal upon exposure to reminders of trauma.
