Abstract in brief

  • Alterations in brain networks, particularly the default mode and salience networks, are linked to PTSD symptoms, with the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) playing a key role in regulating these changes.
  • A study involved 14 PTSD patients and 15 healthy controls to measure PCC connectivity during neurofeedback sessions, comparing conditions where participants either regulated or observed PCC activity.
  • Findings reveal that, unlike healthy controls, the PTSD group exhibited stronger PCC connectivity with critical brain areas during regulation, suggesting these connections may underlie symptom improvements in PTSD patients.
