Exposure-Based Therapy Changes Amygdala and Hippocampus Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Patients with PTSD

摘要

Background:Recent research suggests that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with altered amygdala and hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC). However, less research has examined whether Prolonged Exposure (PE), a first line exposure-based treatment for PTSD, has the potential to alter resting state neural networks.
