Deficits in memory control may facilitate posttraumatic stress disorder On 13 November 2015, a group of Islamic jihadists launched a series of coordinated terror attacks across the city of Paris, France. Witness statements and police reports were almost unbearable to hear, but for people directly affected by the attacks, their traumatic experiences are unforgettable. How do people cope with the memories of such terrible experiences when reminders of the event are omnipresent? Selectively blocking memories of the event is a common coping strategy, but is it a good one? Clinicians would probably be skeptical about recommending this strategy because it is counterproductive for many patients who have experienced a traumatic event. On page 756 of this issue, Mary et al. (1) report the neural differences that control the retrieval of traumatic memories in 102 individuals who were affected by the Paris terror attacks but who dealt with these memories in different ways: 55 developed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and 47 did not.

对创伤的复原力：只是控制问题？

记忆控制缺陷可能助长创伤后应激障碍 2015 年 11 月 13 日，一群伊斯兰圣战分子在法国巴黎市发动了一系列协同恐怖袭击。目击者的陈述和警方的报告几乎让人无法忍受，但对于直接受袭击影响的人来说，他们的创伤经历令人难以忘怀。当事件的提醒无处不在时，人们如何应对这种可怕经历的记忆？有选择地阻止对事件的记忆是一种常见的应对策略，但它是一个好的策略吗？临床医生可能会对推荐这种策略持怀疑态度，因为它对许多经历过创伤事件的患者适得其反。在本期第 756 页，Mary 等人。
