temporal gyrus, showing attenuated connectivity with the DMN (i.e., PCC) in PTSD. This area represents the associative auditory cortex and a primary source of auditory α (“tau”) oscillations (Lehtelä et al., 1997; Billig et al., 2019). This finding thus further bolsters the pathology of sensory-cortex-DMN α dysconnectivity in PTSD, extending beyond our a priori focus on the VC to other sensory modalities.
