Contributions of the default mode and central executive networks during posterior cingulate cortex-targeted fMRI neurofeedback in PTSD

INTRODUCTION: Functional magnetic resonance imaging-based neurofeedback (fMRI-NFB) enables individuals to regulate brain activity implicated in psychopathology, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While most fMRI-NFB studies in PTSD target the amygdala, which engages the central executive network (CEN) for top-down regulation, the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), a core node of the default mode network (DMN), has recently emerged …
