While the activation aspects of PTSD (rage, anger, irritability, somatic re-activations) have alot to do with a hyperarousal of the sympathetic nervous system that runs through the right side of the brain, PTSD from a brainwave side of things has more to do with disharmony and imbalance between the left and right hemispheres, and front and back. That is, non-PTSD folks have an integration of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems where one is not dominant over the other.

Why is the pallidotomy effective even though it destroys one part of the brain?
It may seem odd that the treatment for degeneration of one brain area is to destroy another, but in the absence of dopamine, the GPi cells are overactive, and therefore, eliminating them is an appropriate treatment.

What happens to the amygdala in people with PTSD?
Hi, The amygdala is the part of the brain that processes fear, threats and anxiety. The amygdala is involved in the assessment of threat-related stimuli and is necessary for the process of fear conditioning. It has been found via PET/neuroimaging studies that the amygdala is hyperresponsive in PTSD . Also when people are presented with personalized traumatic stories,combat sounds, combat photographs and trauma-related words the amygdala also shows signs of being hyperresponsive. The amygdala is involved in the assessment of threat-related stimuli and/or biologically relevant ambiguity and is necessary for the process of fear conditioning. In PTSD neuroimaging studies suggest that the changes that occur lead to a shift from a brain where:- - the stress, reward, and self-reflection systems operate in learning mode. This allows people to investigate and enjoy the world around them. This allows them to obtain and remember knowledge that enhances their life -to a brain operating in survival mode. This means that one becomes defensive and prone to negative emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. I hope this helps. Diana McAuliffe
