Altered white matter microstructural organization in posttraumatic stress disorder across 3047 adults: results from the PGC-ENIGMA PTSD consortium

Emily L. Dennis, +141 more
- 01 Aug 2021 - 
TL;DR: The results show that PTSD may be associated with alterations in the broader hippocampal network, and associations between PTSD and disrupted white matter organization measured by lower fractional anisotropy in the tapetum region of the corpus callosum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Military sexual trauma, combat exposure, and negative urgency as independent predictors of PTSD and subsequent alcohol problems among OEF/OIF veterans.

TL;DR: Results indicate that MST, combat exposure, and negative urgency independently predict PTSD symptoms and PTSD symptoms mediate their relationship with alcohol-related problems, and clinical interventions aimed at reducing emotional dysregulation and posttraumatic stress symptomology may subsequently improve alcohol- related outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emotion dysregulation and peer drinking norms uniquely predict alcohol-related problems via motives.

TL;DR: The results indicated that using alcohol to reduce negative or to increase positive emotions increases alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
