Anxiety disorders and symptoms can often be effectivelytreated with benzodiazepine medications. It isknown that animals exposed to stress exhibit adecrease in benzodiazepine receptor binding in thefrontal cortex. The article “Decreased BenzodiazepineReceptor Binding in Prefrontal Cortex in Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder” (Amer. J.of Psychiatry, 2000: 1120–1126) described the firststudy of benzodiazepine receptor binding in individualssuffering from PTSD. The accompanying data on areceptor binding measure (adjusted distribution volume)was read from a graph in the article.PTSD: 10, 20, 25, 28, 31, 35, 37, 38, 38, 39, 39,42, 46Healthy: 23, 39, 40, 41, 43, 47, 51, 58, 63, 66, 67,69, 72Use various methods from this chapter to describe andsummarize the data.
