Background: Racial discrimination is a traumatic stressor that increases the risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but mechanisms to explain this relationship remain unclear. Peritraumatic dissociation, complex process of disorientation, depersonalization, and derealization during trauma, has been consistent predictor PTSD. Experiences frequent racial may increase propensity peritraumatic dissociation in context new experiences contribute PTSD symptoms. However, role between not...
Altered functioning of the bed nucleus stria terminalis (BNST) may play a critical role in etiology posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Chronic stressors such as racial discrimination and lifetime trauma are associated with an increased risk for PTSD, but it is unknown whether they influence relationship between BNST PTSD. We investigated acute post-trauma resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) predictor future PTSD symptoms Black survivors. also examined moderated rsFC symptoms....
Childhood abuse (physical, emotional, and sexual) is associated with aberrant connectivity of the amygdala, a key threat processing region. Heightened amygdala activity also predicts adult anxiety posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, as do experiences childhood abuse. The current study explored whether resting-state functional (rsFC) may explain relationship between PTSD symptoms following trauma exposure in adults. Two-weeks post-trauma, survivors (N=152, M age=32.61; SD=10.35;...
Childhood maltreatment is indisputably linked to adverse mental health outcomes, including an increased risk develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adulthood. The role of childhood the context recovery from a trauma later adulthood not well understood. A variable related both and PTSD symptoms, potential link between two, sleep. current study aimed understand how sleep disturbances may play mechanistic effect subtypes on symptom severity adult sample.
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Neuroimaging research has found that childhood maltreatment is related to reduced activation of the nucleus accumbens. The long-lasting impact this relationship not as well understood. This study aims explore association between emotional neglect and reward-related functional connectivity in an adult trauma sample. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants (N=169, M age=, 32.2; SD=10.3; women=94) experienced a traumatic injury were recruited from Level I Trauma Center....
