Abstract
The current study aimed to identify alterations in brain activation and connectivity related to memory suppression in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using the Think/No-Think paradigm during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Reduced activation in the parahippocampal cortex during No-Think vs. Baseline trials was found in participants with PTSD compared to controls with no history of trauma (pFWE<0.05). Trauma-related intrusive memories (r = 0.562, p = 0.046) and avoidance behaviors (r = 0.636, p = 0.020) were positively correlated with parahippocampal cortex activation during memory suppression in the PTSD group. Psychophysiological interactions (PPI) analysis identified inc..
