In PTSD, Brain Overreacts to Cues Not Directly Linked to Negative Experiences
TAKEAWAY: Researchers have identified a molecular pathway in a specific neural connection in the brain that is disrupted in patients with 22q11 deletion syndrome, a genetic error that is associated with schizophrenia. The pathway, which relies on a microRNA called miR-338-3p, is involved in neural communication between regions of the brain that are likely involved in auditory hallucinations and psychosis, suggesting it may be a potential drug target for alternative therapeutic strategies
In people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , fear-associated brain circuits overreact to cues that are similar to—but not the... Read More
