Emotional Memory Reactivation in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Converging lines of evidence have implicated the amygdala in the pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder. The primary purpose of our study is to assess the effect of propanolol, a beta adrenergic antagonism, on amygdala activation during a symptom provocation state in traumatized subjects with and without posttraumatic stress disorder.
