Summary
This paper discusses a study protocol for examining the effects of morning light treatment on individuals with traumatic stress, with a focus on the potential for light treatment to reduce reactivity in the amygdala, a brain region implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD.
Categories
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The paper discusses a study protocol for examining the effects of morning light treatment on individuals with traumatic stress, including PTSD, and the potential for light treatment to reduce reactivity in the amygdala, a brain region implicated in the pathophysiology of PTSD.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the use of morning light treatment, a form of phototherapy, as a potential treatment for traumatic stress, including PTSD.
Depression: The paper mentions depression as a potential outcome of traumatic stress and as a condition that may be improved by morning light treatment.
Anxiety: The paper mentions anxiety as a potential outcome of traumatic stress and as a condition that may be improved by morning light treatment.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the eye in transmitting the light signal to various brain targets, including the amygdala.
