A new scientific study has revealed why traumatic memories can feel as though they are happening in the present moment, affecting individuals who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). According to the findings, the brains of people with PTSD lose the physiological capacity to update memories and become trapped in the past.
Because of this impairment, the brain remains incapable of registering that the traumatic threat has ended. The research sheds light on the neurological mechanisms behind how trauma is processed and why certain memories retain such vivid, current emotional and sensory intensity.
