Summary
This study followed 216 survivors of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks for up to 6 years, using brain scans to see how their brains process traumatic memories. Researchers compared them to people who were not at the attacks. The goal was to understand why some people develop PTSD and have trouble blocking out unwanted memories. This was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
