Abstract

Key Points Question Can early functional connectivity within and between large-scale neural networks predict the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in recent trauma survivors? Findings In this prognostic study of 162 adult trauma survivors, connectome-based predictive modeling applied to functional magnetic resonance imaging data at 1 month post trauma significantly predicted PTSD symptom severity at both 1 month and 14 months post trauma (but not at 6 months). Key predictive connections involved the anterior default mode, motor sensory, salience, central executive, and visual networks. Meaning These findings suggest that early identification of neural network differences may guide targeted interventions to mitigate PTSD risk following trauma exposure.
