Brain activity can predict resilience against post-traumatic stress

Why does one person develop post-traumatic symptoms after a stressful event while another does not? Police officers with higher activity in the anterior frontal brain area appear to respond more resiliently to a traumatic event. Brain researchers from the Donders Institute and the Behavioral Science Institute discovered this in collaboration with the Police Academy. An article on their study will be published on 18 February in Nature Human Behavior.
