PTSD: The Brain Basis of Susceptibility

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In January, 2024, the Foundation featured Dr. Nathaniel G. Harnett of Harvard Medical School.


Description: Survivors vary in their likelihood of developing PTSD after trauma exposure due, in part, to how the brain handles the stress of the experience. This webinar will highlight emerging research supported by BBRF that has begun to identify the brain circuits that contribute to PTSD susceptibility and may be used to predict future PTSD symptoms. Further, future directions to improve the generalizability of neuroscience-based prediction of PTSD will be discussed.
