Disrupted amygdala-prefrontal functional connectivity in civilian women with posttraumatic stress disorder

TLDR
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.

Brain circuit dysfunction in post-traumatic stress disorder: from mouse to man

TL;DR: This work describes the current understanding of the circuit dysfunction that underlies the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and provides further insights into the mechanisms of risk and resilience.

Restoring large-scale brain networks in PTSD and related disorders: a proposal for neuroscientifically-informed treatment interventions

TL;DR: It is suggested that each network is associated with specific clinical symptoms observed in PTSD, including cognitive dysfunction (central executive network), increased and decreased arousal/interoception (salience network), and an altered sense of self (default mode network).

The neurobiology of emotion regulation in posttraumatic stress disorder: Amygdala downregulation via real-time fMRI neurofeedback.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of successful downregulation of the amygdala using rt‐fMRI‐nf in PTSD, which was critically sustained in a subsequent transfer run without neurofeedback, and corresponded to increased connectivity with prefrontal regions involved in emotion regulation during the intervention.

Diagnostic Biomarkers for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Promising Horizons from Translational Neuroscience Research.

TL;DR: The current review provides an update to the literature with regard to the most promising putative PTSD biomarkers, with specific emphasis on the interaction between neurobiological influences on disease risk and symptom progression.

Functional connectivity of the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala in posttraumatic stress disorder

TL;DR: Functional connectivity in patients with PTSD and healthy trauma survivors during repeated symptom provocation using H(2)O(15) positron emission tomography is examined to suggest that inferences of direct correspondence between animal studies and pathophysiology of PTSD should be made with caution.

PTSD in urban primary care: high prevalence and low physician recognition.

TL;DR: The prevalence of PTSD in the urban primary care setting, and particularly among certain high-risk conditions, compels a critical examination of optimal approaches for screening, intervention, and referral to PTSD treatment.

Trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder and depression in an African-American primary care population

TL;DR: The findings suggest the importance of screening African Americans for PTSD, in addition to depression, in the primary care setting, as well as rates of MDE comorbid with PTSD, comparable to other studies.
