| Abstract: | The article discusses the assessment of combat stress-induced amygdala activity. It provides a detailed account on the results showing that in the absence of combat exposure, stress-induced amygdala hypersensitivity normalizes to the same level as before the combat, whereas perceived threat-dependent changes in amygdala coupling with the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) persist. In addition, the changes in amygdala activity were not accompanied by changes in regional brain volume. |
