Early Affective Processing in Patients with Acute Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Magnetoencephalographic Correlates
TLDR
The findings indicate that the hypervigilance-avoidance pattern seen in chronic PTSD is not necessarily a product of an endured mental disorder, but arises as an almost immediate result of severe traumatisation.
Functional neuroimaging studies in posttraumatic stress disorder: review of current methods and findings
TLDR
The findings with regard to PTSD in the functional imaging techniques of single‐photon emission computed tomography, positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are summarized.
Posterior Midline Activation during Symptom Provocation in Acute Stress Disorder: An fMRI Study
TLDR
The results suggest that the trauma-related pictures evoke emotionally salient self-referential processing in patients with acute stress disorder shortly after the traumatic event.
Processing of autobiographical memory retrieval cues in borderline personality disorder.
The Neurofunctional Mechanisms of Traumatic and Non-Traumatic Memory in Patients with Acute PTSD Following Accident Trauma
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess the functional neuroanatomy of emotional memory in surgical patients with acute PTSD to suggest brain circuits affected by the acute disorder are extended and unstable while chronic disease is characterized by circumscribed and stable neurofunctional abnormalities.

    The Neuroscientist : a review journal bringing neurobiology, neurology and psychiatry
  • 2009
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by recurrent distressing memories of an emotionally traumatic event. In this review, the authors present neuroscientific data highlighting the…
Current and future functional imaging techniques for post-traumatic stress disorder
TLDR
The current state of the literature in PTSD, including molecular, cellular, and behavioral indicators, possible biomarkers and clinical and pre-clinical imaging techniques relevant to PTSD, is demonstrated to elucidate the void of current practical imaging and spectroscopy methods that provide true biomarkers for the disorder and the significance of devising new techniques for future investigations.
Increased white matter integrity of posterior cingulate gyrus in the evolution of post-traumatic stress disorder
TLDR
Findings suggest that alterations of white matter integrity in PCG link to mnemonic and affective processing in PTSD over the long-term follow-up period.
In Search of the Trauma Memory: A Meta-Analysis of Functional Neuroimaging Studies of Symptom Provocation in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
TLDR
PTSD patients showed significantly less activation than controls in sensory association areas such as the bilateral temporal gyri and extrastriate area which may indicate that the patients’ attention was diverted from the presented stimuli by being focused on the elicited trauma memory.
Functional MRI correlates of the recall of unresolved life events in borderline personality disorder
TLDR
The activation of both, the amygdala and prefrontal areas, might reflect an increased effortful but insufficient attempt to control intensive emotions during the recall of unresolved life events in patients with BPD.

TLDR
The findings suggest anterior cingulate, frontal, and thalamic involvement in the neuronal circuitry underlying PTSD.

TLDR
In female patients with BPD, the authors found reduction of the volumes of the hippocampus (and perhaps of the amygdala), but the association of volume reduction and traumatic experiences remains unclear.
