Neural Rewiring of Resilience: The Effects of Combat Deployment on Functional Network Architecture.
Biol Psychiatry Cogn Neurosci Neuroimaging
January 2025
School of Psychological Sciences, Sagol School of Neuroscience, Tel-Aviv University.
Background: Although combat-deployed soldiers are at a high risk for developing trauma-related psychopathology, most will remain resilient for the duration and aftermath of their deployment tour. The neural basis of this type of resilience is largely unknown, and few longitudinal studies exist on neural adaptation to combat in resilient individuals for whom a pre-exposure measurement was collected. Here, we delineate changes in the architecture of functional brain networks from pre- to post-combat in psychopathology-free, resilient participants.

Previously deployed mothers report higher levels of posttraumatic stress and depression symptoms than non-deployed mothers. However, the specific stressors encountered during deployment that account for elevated clinical symptoms are not well understood including the impact of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) in the context of other deployment-related stressors. This study examined whether MST during deployment, degree of combat exposure, and length of deployment will each be associated with posttraumatic stress and depression symptoms among previously deployed mothers.

Limited research exists on resilience following military separation and its impact on social isolation in veterans. We examined resilience against military-related stressors and 2-year longitudinal associations with social isolation indicators; gender differences were also explored.

Article Synopsis
- * A meta-analysis of 51 reviewed articles identified key factors affecting peacekeepers, such as family and military support being resources, while single marital status, female gender, and longer time since deployment pose risks.
- * The analysis highlighted that while some factors like combat exposure are unavoidable, improving coping strategies, social support, and perceptions about deployment could help prevent PTSD in peacekeepers; however, the findings have limitations such as potential publication bias.
Associations Between Sleep Disorders and Treatment Response in Service Members With Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms: A Secondary Outcome Analysis.
Mil Med
October 2024
Department of Preventive Medicine and Biostatistics, Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Introduction: Compared with the civilian population, a higher rate of reported sleep apnea exists among military service members resulting in inadequate sleep. Those who experience chronic sleep deprivation may suffer from debilitating problems that may compromise military mission readiness and unit safety. The purpose of the study on which this secondary outcome analysis was based was to evaluate the effect of manual standardized stress acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to an abbreviated form of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia for sleep disturbances in post-deployment service members.
