Executive Function Subgroups Of Ptsd Have Differentiable Functional Connectivity And Symptom Chronicity

Identifying interactions between psychological symptoms, cognition, and the brain may elucidate clinically relevant patterns that advance our understanding of the development and maintenance of PTSD. Executive functions (EF) have been associated with vulnerability to developing PTSD as well as the chronicity of PTSD symptoms. However, the extent to which EF reveals clinically and neurobiologically relevant subtypes of PTSD remains unclear. This study investigates if subtypes of PTSD defined by clinically relevant differences in EF have distinct clinical, brain, and symptom chronicity profiles.
