A beautiful woman i was supporting near the end of my career was afflicted with PTSD (severe) and, actually, helped me (without knowledge) to realize that i had the same difficulties and responses as she did - i was "afflicted" as well. Anyways, this woman had a PhD in French but since her breakdown could not speak a word of it.

Their research appears in the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
...the purpose of the NYU study was to determine if there were differences between memory consolidation and reconsolidation during protein synthesis.
Their results showed that the inhibitor could effectively interfere with memory consolidation, but had no impact on memory reconsolidation.
“Our results show the different effects of specifically inhibiting the initiation of protein synthesis on memory consolidation and reconsolidation, making clear these two processes have greater variation than previously thought,” explained Eric Klann, Ph.D., one of the study’s co-authors.
“Because addressing memory-related afflictions such at PTSD depends on first understanding the nature of memory formation and the playback of those memories, finding remedies may prove even more challenging than is currently recognized.”
