Meng L, et al. – The current study was expected to explore how the brain recovers from traumatic stress in these trauma–exposed non–posttraumatic stress disorder {PTSD} people (TENP). According to the findings obtained, the TENP people demonstrated a recovery from the trauma over the follow–up, and that was accompanied with increased brain microstructure integrity in fiber tracts primarily involving corticostriatal networks. These changes might contribute to the psychological resilience to a severe life stress that led to PTSD in quake victims.
