Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a devastating disorder that involves maladaptive changes in immune status. Using the stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL) paradigm, an animal model of PTSD, our laboratory has demonstrated increased pro-inflammatory cytokine immunoreactivity in the hippocampus following severe stress. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated...
