- Abstract
- Patterns of local (connected with certain brain regions) indices of evoked potentials at presenting emotionally significant images in combatants (46 males, age 20–50, Me = 28 age) were studied. Local indices of affectivity determined as the degree of similarity in reaction in one or other regions with reactions arising at presenting high and low-emotionally stimuli were analyzed. It is determined that decreasing of indices in the left frontal region and their increasing in the right parietal region at presenting highly significant negative stimuli correlate with defense mechanism “repression”. Decreasing of affectivity local indices values in the right parietal region and increasing of these indices in the left frontal region correlate significantly with defense mechanism “denial”. It is shown that certain patterns of local indices of emotional response correspond to such signs of posttraumatic stress as avoidance, intrusion and hyper-excitement.
