Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to compare medial temporal lobe (MTL) concentrations of N-acetylaspartate and choline between former prisoners of war (POWs) with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MTL N-acetylaspartate and reexperiencing symptoms correlated strongly in the POW subjects with PTSD, suggesting a relationship between reexperiencing symptoms and the integrity of MTL structures.
采用质子磁共振波谱法,比较了患有和未患有创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的前战俘内侧颞叶(MTL)中N-乙酰天门冬氨酸和胆碱的浓度。在患有PTSD的战俘受试者中,MTL的N-乙酰天门冬氨酸与再次体验症状密切相关,这表明再次体验症状与MTL结构的完整性之间存在关联。
