Study Summary
Background: \- Studies have shown that some people develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after being exposed to the trauma of military combat. They may have repeated thoughts, images, and dreams of the trauma; feel detached from others; have difficulty sleeping and concentrating; or be easily startled. Some studies have also shown that after having a blow or blast to the head, some people may develop post-concussive syndrome (PCS), which may include symptoms such as headaches, difficulty concentrating, and feeling moody or irritable. Researchers are interested in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study combat veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom in order to evaluate possible changes in the brain that may be attributed to PTSD or PCS. Objectives: \- To evaluate changes in brain function in recent combat veterans that may be related to post-traumatic stress disorder or post-concussive syndrome. Eligibility: \- Combat veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom who are enrolled in Walter Reed Army Medical Center protocol 351030, have returned within the last 6 weeks from a deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan that lasted at least 3 months, and are able to have magnetic resonance imaging scans. Design: * This study involves between 1 and 4 outpatient visits to the NIH Clinical Center over the course of 1 year. The second, third, and fourth visits will occur 3, 6, and 12 months after the first visit. * At the first visit, participants will have a baseline MRI scan, followed by a functional MRI (fMRI) scan to see what parts of the brain are used while performing simple tasks and responding to images. Participants will complete questionnaires after the scan to report on their experiences during the MRI scan. * For the remaining three study visits, participants will have further MRI and fMRI scans and will complete additional questionnaires. Participation is complete after the 12-month study visit, or fol
