Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Research harnessing advances in technology to further probe the role of the prefrontal cortex in these processes, such as the use of optogenetics in rodents and brain stimulation in humans, will be highlighted...
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Brain stimulation is presented as a human technology used to further probe the role of the prefrontal cortex in fear-related processes. The review frames it as part of the translational toolkit around PTSD-relevant fear regulation.; probing prefrontal contributions to fear processing in humans; translational investigation relevant to PTSD treatment

The abstract supports only that it is used in humans; it does not specify whether the modality is TMS, tDCS, DBS, or another platform.; requires human brain stimulation setup
The abstract explicitly notes that PTSD remains difficult to treat, so no claim is supported that brain stimulation alone solves treatment resistance.; the abstract does not specify stimulation modality, target, or efficacy boundaries
