A pilot neuroimaging study of adults with prolonged grief disorder (PGD) compared to bereaved controls after death of a spouse or parent
Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to examine how emotional responses to the death of a spouse or partner are reflected in brain regions measured by neuroimaging.
