Unique Patterns of Brain Activity Predict Treatment Responses in Patients with PTSD (2 of 2)

Caption

The image shows the fMRI connectivity of the brain's ventral attention network (VAN; red) in healthy individuals or patients with PTSD, whose fMRI connectivity and memory ability are either impaired or not. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the April 3, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Etkin at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif.; and colleagues was titled, "Using fMRI connectivity to define a treatment-resistant form of post-traumatic stress disorder."
