Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Traumatic memories are frequently associated with psychogenic symptoms and to the origin of belief systems responsible for dysfunctional behavior patterns. It is advisable, when treating sufferers of traumatic memories, to make use of procedures based on assisted therapeutic exposure, with the objective of not only removing the feeling of extreme vulnerability, but also rebuilding the basic beliefs acquired during the traumatic event.
This study examined whether quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) could descry differences in brain function in sufferers of traumatic memories submitted to a standardized psychotherapeutic session which includes relaxation, retrieval of traumatic memory, conscience of automatic thoughts & emotion, cognitive redecision and finalization.
Electroencephalograms (20-channel) were recorded from 20 patients with recurrent traumatic memories (accident, sexual violence and robbery) acting as determinants for the affected behavioral patterns. QEEG recordings were performed during the course of the psychotherapeutic session and the data were compared to the baseline condition. Both absolute and relative amplitudes were simultaneously analyzed at delta (0,5 –3,9 Hz), theta (4-7,9 Hz), alpha (8-11,9 Hz) and beta (12-18 Hz) frequencies.
The present study showed significant changes in the cerebral electrobiogenesis associated with the retrieval and reconstruction of traumatic memories during the standardized psychotherapy session. It is assumed from the electroencephalographic findings that the psychotherapeutic approach applied conducts the individual through consistent neurophysiologic changes that suggest amplified states of consciousness, which facilitate the psychotherapeutic process.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Many studies have pointed out that the brain does not really store emotional or traumatic memories, but stores traces of information that are later used to create memories. The psychopathological signs of trauma are not static along a time-line and neither is the expression of traumatic memories. The psychotherapeutic method Terapia Reestruturativa Vivencial Peres (TRVP) integrates tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Altered State of Consciousness to help the patient restructure emotionally and cognitively traumatic events. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare changes in cerebral blood flow of patients during the retrieval of traumatic memories of present life and traumatic memories of supposed previous lives by using a script-driven symptom provocation paradigm adapted to Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Twenty patients with partial post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were examined by means of brain SPECT (99Tc-ECD). ROIs were used to semi-quantify flow. Values were generated for each ROI and normalized to the average whole brain activity and a Statistical Parametric Mapping was used for data analyses.
The comparison between the baseline condition (relaxation) and the traumatic memories of present life showed significant attenuation of activity in the pre-frontal cortex
(X=±10, Y=+36, Z=-15 p<0.001), and left hippocampus (X=-32, Y=-9, Z=-15
p<0.001), as well as increase of activity in the left amygdale (X=-17, Y=-6, Z=-23
p<0.001). The comparison between the baseline condition and the traumatic memories from supposed previous life showed the same neural reciprocities. The third comparison between the traumatic memories of present life and the traumatic memories from supposed previous life, did not reach significance. These findings suggest that fantasy, false memories and confabulation are distinct cognitive processes of traumatic
memories of supposed previous lives, and neural mechanisms involved in these processes may share neural similarities with those underlying the fragmented and nonverbal nature of traumatic memories in partial PTSD.

Cerebral blood changes during retrieval of traumatic memories before and after psychotherapy
Publication year: 2007

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17288648
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background - Traumatic memory is a key symptom in psychological trauma victims and may remain vivid for several years. Psychotherapy has shown that neither the psychopathological signs of trauma nor the expression of traumatic memories are static over time. However, few studies have investigated the neural substrates of psychotherapy-related symptom changes.
Method - We studied 16 subthreshold post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) subjects by using a script-driven symptom provocation paradigm adapted for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) that was read aloud during traumatic memory retrieval both before and after exposure-based and cognitive restructuring therapy. Their neural activity levels were compared with a control group comprising 11 waiting-list subthreshold PTSD patients, who were age- and profile-matched with the psychotherapy group.
Results - Significantly higher activity was observed in the parietal lobes, left hippocampus, thalamus and left prefrontal cortex during memory retrieval after psychotherapy. Positive correlations were found between activity changes in the left prefrontal cortex and left thalamus, and also between the left prefrontal cortex and left parietal lobe.
Conclusions - Neural mechanisms involved in subthreshold PTSD may share neural similarities with those underlying the fragmented and non-verbal nature of traumatic memories in full PTSD. Moreover, psychotherapy may influence the development of a narrative pattern overlaying the declarative memory neural substrates.

Traumatic memories: bridging the gap between functional neuroimaging and psychotherapy
Publication year: 2008

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18465374
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective - Neuroimaging studies have highlighted important issues related to structural and functional brain changes found in sufferers of psychological trauma that may influence their ability to synthesize, categorize, and integrate traumatic memories.
Methods - Literature review and critical analysis and synthesis.
Results - Traumatic memories are diagnostic symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the dual representation theory posits separate memory systems subserving vivid re-experiencing (non-hippocampally dependent) versus declarative autobiographical memories of trauma (hippocampally dependent). But the psychopathological signs of trauma are not static over time, nor is the expression of traumatic memories. Multiple memory systems are activated simultaneously and in parallel on various occasions. Neural circuitry interaction is a crucial aspect in the development of a psychotherapeutic approach that may favour an integrative translation of the sensory fragments of the traumatic memory into a declarative memory system.
Conclusion - The relationship between neuroimaging findings and psychological approaches is discussed for greater efficacy in the treatment of psychologically traumatized patients.
