Neurobiology of PTSD

Psychological trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are associated with lasting effects on the brain and physical health. Studies in animals show that stress is associated with changes in brain regions involved in memory including prefrontal cortex, cingulate, hippocampus, amygdala, and other connected brain regions. Stress also affects brain circuitry involving the noradrenergic and cortisol systems. The hippocampus has been shown to be a brain region that uniquely has the ability for neurogenesis, or the ability to grow new neurons in adulthood. Stress inhibits neurogenesis and treatments of stress can reverse this. This has been shown in animal studies and extended to patients with PTSD treated with paroxetine or phenytoin, which increase hippocampal volume as seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as lead to improvements in memory. Functional imaging studies also show alterations in medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala in PTSD that reverse with treatment. These findings have pointed to a brain circuitry underlying PTSD.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the role of animal models for stress and how they are applicable to traumatized populations
Recognize the role of norepinephrine and cortisol in the stress response
Recall research findings related to changes in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and amygdala in PTSD

Douglas Bremner, MD

Dr. Bremner’s research has used neuroimaging and neurobiology measures to study the neural correlates and neurobiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to combat and childhood abuse, as well as the related area of depression. His more recent work is expanding to look at the relationship between brain, behavior, and physical health including studies of neurobiological mechanisms involved in the relationships between stress and depression and cardiovascular disease, as well as the effects of different treatments on the brain. His studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to show smaller hippocampal volume in PTSD are amongst the most highly cited in the field. He has authored over 400 scientific articles and book chapters, edited three books, wrote six books including “You Can’t Just Snap Out of It” and “Guiding Clients in Recovery from Psychological Trauma,” and developed and validated the Early Trauma Inventory (ETI) and the Clinician Administered States Scale (CADSS).
