PTSD is associated with neuroimmune suppression: evidence from PET imaging and postmortem transcriptomic studies

PTSD is associated with neuroimmune suppression: evidence from PET imaging and postmortem transcriptomic studies

Neuroinflammation has been proposed to accompany the peripheral inflammation observed in PTSD. Here, authors find lower in vivo and postmortem levels of neuroimmune marker TSPO (translocator protein) in PTSD, in association with greater PTSD severity and higher plasma CRP.
