Biases in affective attention tasks in posttraumatic stress disorder patients: a systematic review of neuroimaging studies

CONCLUSION: Stroop-based tasks seem to be better at identifying differences in behavioral performance of PTSD individuals. PTSD individuals seems to present an altered brain activation pattern in affective attention tasks when compared to controls, where PTSD individuals seem to present enhanced amygdala activation and rely more on dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and posterior insula activation during tasks. The PROSPERO ID for this study is CRD42022355471.PMID:37597766 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108660
