The brains of individuals with PTSD look different than those of individuals without PTSD. Brain regions of interest are those involved in the normal expression of emotions and memory like the ...
The molecular mechanisms in the brain that drive PTSD are not well understood, though recent studies have suggested that ... who were studying gene expression in the mouse amygdala—a part of the brain ...
