Study Suggests Some Brain Injuries Reduce the Likelihood of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

A new study of combat-exposed Vietnam War veterans shows that
those with injuries to certain parts of the brain were less likely
to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The findings,
from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Naval
Medical Center, suggest that drugs or pacemaker-like devices aimed
at dampening activity in these brain regions might be effective
treatments for PTSD.
