Exposure therapy is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but many patients do not respond. Brain functions governing outcome are well characterized. The authors examined brain systems relevant to emotional reactivity and regulation, constructs that thought be central PTSD exposure effects, identify the functional traits of individuals most likely benefit from treatment.Individuals with underwent MRI (fMRI) while completing three tasks assessing regulation....
Exposure therapy is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but a comprehensive, emotion-focused perspective on how psychotherapy affects brain function lacking. The authors assessed changes in after prolonged exposure across three emotional reactivity and regulation paradigms.Individuals with PTSD underwent functional MRI (fMRI) at rest while completing tasks assessing regulation. Individuals were then randomly assigned to immediate (N=36) or waiting list condition...
A mechanistic understanding of the pathology psychiatric disorders has been hampered by extensive heterogeneity in biology, symptoms, and behavior within diagnostic categories that are defined subjectively. We investigated whether leveraging individual differences information-processing impairments patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could reveal phenotypes disorder. found a subgroup PTSD from two independent cohorts displayed both aberrant functional connectivity ventral...
Objective During childhood, the brain can consume up to 65% of total calories, and a steady supply brain's main fuel glucose needs be maintained. Although itself is not dependent on insulin for uptake glucose, plays an important role in energy homeostasis. Thus, risk resistance during development may negatively impact whole volume. Methods We investigated link between volume as measured by structural Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 46 unmedicated depressed overweight youths ages 9 17 years....
