Antshel (eds.). 23 (4), pp. 747-756. Drs. Alana Conti (PI) and Shane Perrine (co-investigator), have been awarded a 4-year VA Merit Review Award. Their preclinical studies are highly relevant to the mission for VA patient care and rehabilitation in that military personnel are at increased risk for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD not only worsens TBI symptoms, such as cognitive impairments, but it also causes TBI symptoms to persist for a longer duration and confounds diagnosis and treatment. One mechanism implicated in the cognitive impairments found in comorbid PTSD-TBI is cortical hypoactivation, a condition associated following either TBI or PTSD alone. Their project, “Longitudinal Assessment of Cortical Hypoactivity in a Model of Comorbid TBIPTSD,” aims to address the long-term effects of PTSD-TBI on cognitive behaviors resulting from molecular, structural and functional cortical impairments and to investigate long-lasting rehabilitation neurotherapeutic interventions that target the glutamatergic system. 11/5 - Angela Kallis, MD “TBA” 11/12 - Tiffany R Farchione, MD "FDA 101 for Clinicians: Demystifying the Black Box" 11/19 – Sandra Jacobson, PhD “TBA” 11/26 – Holiday NO GRAND ROUNDS III.
