Many persons with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly among military and Veteran populations, do not experience full recovery with current therapies. This report reviewed emerging interventions guided by neuroscience, specifically deep brain reorienting, virtual reality integrative therapy, neurofeedback, and non-invasive brain stimulation.

Measurement-based care, a method that uses routine monitoring of patient-reported outcomes to inform clinical decisions for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is underutilized. To identify factors impacting its use, researchers conducted a systematic review of articles that examined barriers to and facilitators of this practice.

Posttraumatic stress disorder is a complex disorder that often persists despite the use of evidence-based treatments. To investigate this, researchers conducted a systematic review of studies to synthesize existing definitions of treatment-resistant PTSD and examine the criteria used.

Walking impairments in Parkinson’s disease reduce mobility and increase fall risk. This study examined how combining brain stimulation with rhythmic music affected walking in participants with Parkinson’s disease and in healthy controls.

Little is known about the conservation status of most species that depend on soil for survival. To better understand this situation, researchers developed a definition for soil-dependent species to identify them on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
