Large-Scale Functional Hyperconnectivity Patterns Characterizing Trauma-Related Dissociation: A rs-fMRI Study of PTSD and its Dissociative Subtype

The dissociative subtype of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a distinct PTSD phenotype characterized by trauma-related dissociation, alongside unique patterns of small and large-scale functional connectivity. However, disparate findings across these various scales of investigation have highlighted the need for a cohesive understanding of dissociative neurobiology. We took a step towards this goal by conducting the largest region of …
