| Abstract |
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) describes a syndrome in which a trauma survivor experiences an inability to get the event out of his/her mind. The symptoms of PTSD were initially conceptualized as resulting from the cascade of biological and psychological responses following the activation of fear and other brain systems. In the last decade, scientific developments have led to a better understanding of why only certain individuals develop this disorder. Furthermore, studies of the neurobiology of PTSD have delineated specific alterations that help shape our understanding of how biological and psychological responses at the time of traumatic events may have long-term consequences. This review will discuss these new findings and their treatment implications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 January 2021.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Psychiatric Quarterly
#236
of 648 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,702
of 126,580 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychiatric Quarterly
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 648 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 126,580 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
