Study Study: Different Neural Modifications Underpin Ptsd After Different Traumatic Events: An Fmri Meta-a

[greenleaf]

This is an interesting new analysis showing activity changes in differing brain regions for people with ptsd from different general categories of trauma: combat-related, childhood physical/sexual abuse, and natural disasters.

Looks very interesting, Greenleaf, but I'm not paying $40 for an article, bummer. Hopefully my psych will see it. He keeps up. I know my brain has changed. I feel it.

Sorry, didn't realize that part... It does have interesting fMRI images. I hope that these will show up in free locations soon...

Generally people in the U.S. can go to a public library and ask for a copy of the article to be obtained (I hope?); probably many other countries too. Lots of work for folks though.

I assume that the abstract is available to all though through the http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25913645 link...?

p.s. if I am reading the study's analysis correctly, some brain areas are activated in ptsd caused by all the trauma categories. Other sections weren't.

Having trouble focusing on it though, it feels a bit too real and is upsetting me today...
