Biomarker In Brain Found for Identifying Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Seventy-four U.S. vets who were diagnosed with PTSD were scanned by a magneto encephalopathy (MEG), a new non-evasive type of brain scan with more than 90% accuracy. Researchers were able to differentiate PTSD from health control. In addition, the MEG can show how badly the patients are impacted by the PTSD, possibly opening up the door to showing how badly patients are impacted by other brain disorders.
