Increased Brain Activation with Traumatic Scripts in Women with PTSD

Brain areas with significant (p < 0.005) activations during exposure to personalized trauma scripts in participants with posttraumatic stress disorder as measured with high-resolution positron emission tomography. Significant clusters are presented by size (number of voxels) and location (Brodmann area, cluster peak Talairach coordinates). Sub-cluster peaks are also identified.
