Description	Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), currently included by the Diagnostic and Statistical of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision in the macro‐category “disorders related to traumatic and stressful events,” is a severe mental distress that arises acutely as a result of direct or indirect exposure to severely stressful and traumatic events. An extensive literature is available on the psychological and behavioral manifestations of PTSD. However, regarding the more purely neuropsychological aspects of the disorder, which are still the subject of research, more clarity is needed. In this paper, we place the focus on the neurobiological elements of the disorder. AbstractPost‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), currently included by the Diagnostic and Statistical of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision in the macro‐category “disorders related to traumatic and stressful events”, is a severe mental distress that arises acutely as a result of direct or indirect exposure to severely stressful and traumatic events. A large body of literature is available on the psychological and behavioral manifestations of PTSD; however, with regard to the more purely neuropsychological aspects of the disorder, they are still the subject of research and need greater clarity, although the roles of the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus, cerebellum, locus coeruleus, and hippocampus in the onset of the disorder's characteristic symptoms have already been elucidated.
