Substantial neuroimaging evidence demonstrates that post-traumatic stress disorder is consistently associated with structural and functional alterations in specific brain regions, particularly the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and anterior cingulate cortex.

The analysis

Multiple large-scale studies, reviews, and consortium findings (e.g., PGC-ENIGMA) overwhelmingly support the claim that PTSD correlates with structural and functional changes in specific brain regions like the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. No papers refute the premise that PTSD involves neurobiological alterations.
