J Int Neuropsychol Soc 15:830-9. 2009..Small-to-moderate effects were observed on verbal declarative memory in line with a recent meta-analysis; nevertheless, little or no evidence of systematic linear covariation between memory measures and brain volumes was observed...
Development and initial validation of a statistical prediction instrument for assessing combat-related posttraumatic stress disorderBrian P Marx

J Rehabil Res Dev 45:359-69. 2008..However, only 17% of variance in GAF was accounted for by PTSD. The results raise concern about the use of the GAF score as a benchmark for quantifying combat PTSD-related functional impairment...
