This study’s main strength lies in showing that the established medial prefrontal cortex–amygdala connectivity implicated in PTSD is also key in women with PTSD who have recently experienced sexual assault. This finding is particularly important given the urgent need to develop more effective treatments for women affected by PTSD following sexual assault. Moreover, PTSD research offers a unique opportunity, as its onset is typically traceable to a specific traumatic event, making it a promising candidate for prevention among mental disorders.
