Finding a new path towards healing.
Our teammate, @drmichaelroy, & his team recently published an article about their landmark study on Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) & potential efficacy at easing symptoms of post-traumatic stress in military personnel.
Protecting brain health in the SOF community is a core focus of #MTBI2’s research.
Two new MTBI2 studies led by our @drmichaelroy are among the first of their kind, examining brain health in SOF communities that are rarely studied.
Attention Service Members and Veterans in the DMV!
The CARE4PTSD study at @WRNMMC_DHA aims to reduce PTS symptom severity using cutting-edge virtual and augmented reality

Our teammate @drmichaelroy was featured in the JUN2024 issue of @natgeomag about new ways that scientists are tackling the issue of stress. His study focuses on helping service members with posttraumatic stress (#PTS) after a #TBI.

We are now the Military Traumatic Brain Injury Initiative — #MTBI2 for short.
We’re a @DeptofDefense research org on a mission to minimize the destructive effects traumatic brain injuries have on U.S. service members. We study #TBIs of all severities & all causes.
Glad to see Garry Trudeau describe the veteran with PTSD in his comic strip having significant improvement with the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) therapy we are currently testing in a study at Walter Reed and Madigan military medical centers.https://t.co/IYrDbSDJAn
“If our study does very well ... It may compel others to consider new approaches."
Our teammate @drmichaelroy talked to @WRNMMC_DHA about some of the early findings from the RECON study and the impact it could have on future PTS treatments: https://t.co/nA0fDmOGgZ
Thank you to Garry Trudeau for his kind words in the Washington Post this week regarding the study we are conducting to improve treatment of PTSD in the military. https://t.co/92DnobsDur
