Abstract

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to terrifying and life-threatening events. This chapter will review findings from neuroimaging studies that have investigated hippocampal volume in PTSD as well as proposed mechanistic relationships between the disorder and hippocampal volume.
