Processing traumatic memories during sleep leads to changes in the brain associated with improvement in PTSD symptoms.

First -choice treatment for PTSD is exposure-based psychotherapy, where therapists help rewire the emotions associated with the traumatic memory in the patient's brain, shifting from fear and arousal to a more neutral response.

Currently available treatments for PTSD include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

Van Marle hopes this work can inspire future research to explore the beneficial effects of TMR in treating other conditions.
