Sažetak
Twenty two patients were war veterans with chronic, combat-related PTSD in accordance with DSM-IV criteria who manifested frequent aggressive acting outs during group therapies and individual psychiatric interviews, and they performed 99mTc-ECD SPECT. Our results suggest that aggressive behaviour within PTSD can, at least at some extent, be expalined by malfunction and constant activation of nucleus accumbens and related limbic brain structures and the psychological processes they mediate.
