Association of Racial Discrimination With Neural Response to Threat in Black Women in the US Exposed to Trauma

Association of Racial Discrimination With Neural Response to Threat in Black Women in the US... Key PointsQuestionAre experiences of racial discrimination associated with neural response patterns throughout the brain during attention to threat cues? FindingsThis cross-sectional study of 55 Black women in the US found that those with more racial discrimination experiences showed proportionally greater response in brain regions associated with threat vigilance and regulation of threat response. MeaningThis study suggests that heightened activation in brain regions associated with threat vigilance and regulation of threat response may disproportionately encumber and drain these resources over time, serving to enhance vulnerability for race-related health disparities. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA Psychiatry American Medical Association
