About this Research Topic
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder that affects individuals who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events. It can have severe and long-lasting effects on mental well-being and overall quality of life. Therefore, gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying PTSD and identifying effective therapeutic approaches is fundamental.
We encourage submissions that investigate various aspects of PTSD, including:
Neurobiological Basis: Research exploring the neurobiology of PTSD, such as alterations in brain structure and function, neurochemical imbalances, and dysregulation of stress response systems.
Genetic and Epigenetic Influences: Studies investigating the genetic and epigenetic factors that contribute to vulnerability or resilience to PTSD, shedding light on potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Trauma and Environment: Research examining how environmental factors, early-life experiences, and socio-cultural influences interact with genetic predispositions to shape the development and manifestation of PTSD.
Treatment Strategies: Articles focusing on innovative approaches to treating PTSD, including psychotherapeutic interventions, pharmacological treatments, neuromodulation, neurofeedback, and emerging techniques like virtual reality therapy.
This article collection aims to create a comprehensive overview of current research trends surrounding PTSD and its impact on brain health and clinical neuroscience. By showcasing the latest scientific advancements and promoting multidisciplinary collaborations, we strive to accelerate progress in understanding and treating PTSD.
The collection welcomes original research, case reports, and reviews. Accepted articles will be published as part of the Brain Health and Clinical Neuroscience section, which fosters the dissemination of basic and translational research on various neuropsychiatric conditions.
