Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain technique can disrupt the way fear memories are stored after a traumatic event. Researchers will work with 66 adults, some with PTSD, using brain scans and mild stimulation to see if they can weaken fear responses. The goal is to find a new way to lower the risk of developing PTSD.
