Brain biomarkers identify those at risk of severe PTSD symptoms [medicalxpress.com]

 

Using sophisticated computational tools, researchers at Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine have discovered biomarkers that may explain why symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be so severe for some people and not for others.

The findings are reported Jan. 21 in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

The study of combat veterans who have been exposed to intense events shows that those with severe symptoms of PTSD have distinct patterns of neurological and physiological responses affecting associative learningβ€”the ability to distinguish between harmful and safe stimuli in the environment.
