Summary
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.
