Abstract
Individuals with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) display attentional biases to threat and impaired performance on sustained attention tasks. Difficulty to exhibit attentional control may contribute to emotion dysregulation in PTSD. Using behavioral and neuroimaging data, we examined the relationship between attention and emotion processing in PTSD and controls.
