Criticality is Associated with Future Psychotherapy Response in Patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—A Pilot Study
These results show that the brains of prospective PTSD psychotherapy treatment responders operate closer to criticality than nonresponders, and this occurs across the entire brain instead of in separate canonical brain networks. These results suggest that effective psychotherapy is mediated by brains operating closer to criticality.
