  • Title: Hippocampal volume and declarative memory function in combat-related PTSD.
    Author: Woodward SH, Kaloupek DG, Grande LJ, Stegman WK, Kutter CJ, Leskin L, Prestel R, Schaer M, Reiss AL, Eliez S.
    Journal: J Int Neuropsychol Soc; 2009 Nov; 15(6):830-9. PubMed ID: 19703322.
    Abstract:
    The proposition that declarative memory deficits are systematically related to smaller hippocampal volume was tested in a relatively large sample (n = 95) of U.S. military veterans with and without combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder. This correlative analysis was extended by including multiple measures of verbal and visual declarative memory and multiple memory-relevant regional brain volumes that had been shown to exhibit main effects of PTSD in prior work. Small-to-moderate effects were observed on verbal declarative memory in line with a recent meta-analysis; nevertheless, little or no evidence of systematic linear covariation between memory measures and brain volumes was observed.
