What part of the brain is overactive in people with PTSD?
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.

How are brain structures such as the amygdala hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex involved in the manifestation of ptsd symptoms?
The amygdala plays a crucial role in processing fear and emotional memories, often becoming hyperactive in individuals with PTSD, leading to heightened anxiety and fear responses. The hypothalamus is involved in the stress response, regulating the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which can be dysregulated in PTSD, exacerbating symptoms. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions and emotional regulation, often shows reduced activity in PTSD, impairing the ability to manage fear and anxiety effectively. Together, these brain structures contribute to the persistence of PTSD symptoms, such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, and emotional dysregulation.
