1 The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effects of the SSRI paroxetine on neural responses to traumatic memories in a small sample of patients with PTSD, as measured with PET imaging; we hypothesized that paroxetine treatment would be associated with increased regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the medial prefrontal cortex.

2 Participants treated with paroxetine CR and placebo both exhibited significantly increased rCBF in the ACC during trauma versus neutral script presentations; however, we noted an increase in function in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in paroxetine-treated (but not placebo-treated) participants.
