The goal of this study was to compare neural activation patterns in patients with PTSD with and without current comorbid major depression. Traumatized subjects with PTSD (n = 11), PTSD + major depression (MDD, n = 15), and subjects (n = 16) who met criterion A for PTSD but never developed the disorder were studied using the script-driven symptom-provocation paradigm adapted to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at a 4-Tesla field strength. Both the PTSD+MDD and PTSD-MDD groups revealed decreased brain activation in the anterior cingulate gyrus (BA 24) and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (BA 47). After covariation for differences in PTSD severity between these groups, the left insula (BA 13) remained more significantly activated in the PTSD - MDD group than in the PTSD +MDD group. In contrast, the PTSD + MDD group showed greater activation than the PTSD MDD group in the bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus (BA 24) and posterior cingulate cortices (BA 23, 31). These results suggest different pattems of brain activation related to comorbid major depression occurring in the context of PTSD. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
