The relationship between Hippocampal asymmetry and working memory processing in combat-related PTSD: a monozygotic twin study [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: PTSD is associated with reduction in hippocampal volume and abnormalities in hippocampal function. Hippocampal asymmetry has received less attention, but potentially could indicate lateralised differences in vulnerability to trauma.

Neural Processing During Fear Extinction Predicts Intrusive Memories [PDF]
Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, 2020 Deficient extinction learning has been suggested as an important mechanism involved in the etiology of posttraumatic stress disorder. A key feature of posttraumatic stress disorder, reexperiencing the trauma in form of intrusions, may be linked to deficient extinction learning. This link is investigated in a novel, functional magnetic resonance imaging-

Arresting visuospatial stimulation is insufficient to disrupt analogue traumatic intrusions.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Intrusive memories are a core symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A growing body of analogue studies using trauma films suggest that carrying out specific demanding tasks (e.g., playing the video game Tetris, pattern tapping) after the ...

Imagery rescripting for the treatment of trauma in voice hearers: a case series [PDF]
, 2019 Background: High rates of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are reported in people who hear voices (auditory hallucinations). A recent metanalysis of trauma interventions in psychosis showed only small improvements in PSTD symptoms and ...

The impact of pre-existing anxiety on affective and cognitive processing of a Virtual Reality analogue trauma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Dysfunctional processing of traumatic events may be in particular related to high trait anxiety as a pre-traumatic risk factor for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
