Consciousness Examined: An Introduction to the Foundations of Neurobiology for EMDR (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

The human mind is difficult to investigate, but the biological foundations of the mind, especially consciousness, are generally regarded as the most daunting.

Studio di valutazione dell’efficacia clinica e neurobiologica dell’EMDR in pazienti affetti da disturbo da stress post-traumatico (Rivista Di Psichiatria)

Il nostro studio suggerisce che il trattamento con EMDR è associato a un significativo miglioramento dei sintomi di PTSD e a un parallelo incremento dei volumi ippocampali.

Substrato neurobiologico della terapia con EMDR (Rivista Di Psichiatria)

Gli EEG sono stati quindi ripetuti durante l’ultima seduta EMDR eseguita su paziente asintomatico.

Adaptive Information Processing and a Systemic Biopsychosocial Model (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

The author expands the AIP model to include psychosocial mechanisms & suggests a biopsychosocial system depicts positive outcomes of EMDR.

Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor level may contribute to the therapeutic response to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing in complex post-traumatic stress disorder: A pilot study (Acta Neuropsychiatrica, 2012)

Investigating the relationship between plasma levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor, and EMDR in complex PTSD.

Pre- intra- and post-treatment eeg imaging of EMDR – neurobiological bases of treatment efficacy (European Psychiatry)

Electroencephalography was used for the first time to fully monitor neuronal activation during whole EMDR sessions.

Pretreatment, Intratreatment, and Posttreatment EEG Imaging of EMDR: Methodology and Preliminary Results From a Single Case (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to monitor neuronal activation during the whole EMDR session, including the autobiographical script.

EMDR treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder, with focus on hippocampal volumes: A pilot study (The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences)

Preliminary study suggesting further consideration of the potential effects of psychotherapy on the neurobiology of psychiatric disorders

Do horizontal saccadic eye movements increase interhemishpheric coherence? Investigation of a hypothesized neural mechanism underlying EMDR (Frontiers in Psychiatry)

This study aimed to investigate whether memory enhancement following bilateral eye movements is associated with increased interhemispheric coherence in the electroencephalogram (EEG).
