MRI assessment of brain abnormalities in posttraumatic stress disorder

Ronal Mishra

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating psychiatric condition that can result from exposure to traumatic events. While the symptoms of PTSD have been extensively studied, the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a promising tool for identifying brain abnormalities in PTSD patients. Recent studies have demonstrated alterations in brain structure, function, and connectivity in individuals with PTSD, particularly in regions involved in emotional processing and regulation. These findings suggest that MRI assessment may help to uncover the neural substrates underlying PTSD and aid in the development of targeted treatments for this disorder.
