Abstract:
Post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop following a traumatic event.Neuro-imaging techniques offer a noninvasive means to elucidate the brain circuit underlying PTSD, and may help to find effective biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment evaluation of this disorder.In this article, we review recent brain structural MRI studies in PTSD.Problems of the current research and possible directions for future research are also presented.
