SynopsisNeurobiology of PTSD provides the most up-to-date overview of the impairment of basic neural mechanisms that mediate complex responses and adaptations to psychological trauma. Throughout three comprehensive sections, expert authors present detailed analysis of the neural circuitry underlying key factors in PTSD development-including fear, stress, memory, and emotions regulation-to bridge basic neuroscience research clinical findings, and approaches to treatment and prevention. This book and in-depth topic coverage create a foundational resource for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologist and allied health professionals in the domain of PTSD. Book jacket., Neurobiology of PTSD outlines the basic neural mechanisms that mediate complex responses and adaptations to psychological trauma; describes how these biological processes are impaired in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and discusses how the environmental exposure to trauma interacts with the brain to create the syndrome of PTSD., Neurobiology of PTSD outlines the basic neural mechanisms that mediate complex responses and adaptations to psychological trauma, describing how these biological processes are impaired in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Throughout three comprehensive sections, expert authors present detailed analysis of the neural circuitry of emotion, biological findings in post-traumatic stress disorder, and neuroscience informed treatment and prevention. This book is a foundational resource for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and allied health professionals.
