| Vorderseite | How does neuroimaging explain PTSD? |
| Rückseite | Amygdala: Overactive in response to emotional stimuli, increasing fear responses.Medial Prefrontal Cortex: Underactive, reducing regulation of fear and emotional responses.Hippocampus: Impaired, leading to difficulty distinguishing past from present danger. |
| Vorderseite | What is emotion-based reasoning (ER) and ntrusion-based reasoning (IR) in PTSD? |
| Rückseite | Emotion-based reasoning (ER) occurs when individuals interpret their emotional responses—such as fear or anxiety—as direct evidence of danger, regardless of the actual situation.Intrusion-based reasoning (IR) happens when individuals interpret intrusive memories or thoughts about past trauma as signs of impending danger or the likelihood of the traumatic event recurring. |
