Attentional, executive, and memory deficits have been described in PTSD, as well as emotional cognitive biases. Many findings, however, are controversial and conflicting. Here, we describe strategies…
Memory in PTSD:A Neurocognitive Approach
- Psychology, Biology

This work considers memory as both a symptom and a risk factor for PTSD, and highlights specifically the contribution of neuropsychological and cognitive neuroscience studies with the goal of elucidating the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying memory changes associated with PTSD.

Our contribution to this special issue focuses on the phenomenon of intrusive trauma memory. While intrusive trauma memories can undoubtedly cause impairment, we argue that they may exist for a…
Mental Imagery and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Neuroimaging and Experimental Psychopathology Approach to Intrusive Memories of Trauma
- PsychologyFront. Psychiatry

It is suggested that mental imagery is key to bridging the experience, memory, and intrusive recollection of the traumatic event as well as aiding the development of a firmer bridge between patients’ experiences of intrusive memories and the clinical neuroscience behind them.

The findings discussed in this paper are consistent with the formulation that stress-induced alterations in brain regions and systems involved in memory may underlie many of the symptoms of PTSD, as well as dissociative amnesia, seen in survivors of traumatic stress.

The evidence implicating dissociation as the central pathogenic mechanism that gives rise to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is reviewed, and it is indicated that traumatic memories were retrieved, at least initially, in the form of dissociated mental imprints of sensory and affective elements of the traumatic experience.
