Every blast has an impact — and we want to know exactly what that impact looks like. @drmichaelroy & his team recently published the findings from their INVICTA study, the most comprehensive assessment of neurological outcomes associated with subconcussive blast exposure to date

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.

1 man with a gun. 22+ Dead 60+ injured. The Lewiston Maine mass shooting this evening is not the first and it won’t be the last because sensible gun legislation is a topic that is taboo in politics. As the body bags pile up can we at least try and figure out a way to slow these people down? I don’t eat “thoughts and prayers”. I want “discussion and action.”

Great story!

Name change alert! Now better aligned with what we actually do!
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.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2023…

“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: bit.ly/45cPWc7

Join our new study, using the technology shown, we integrate music and pictures you choose into virtual reality.
According to @DeptVetAffairs, 10-20% of veterans will experience post-traumatic stress (PTS) at some point in their life. Experiencing symptoms of PTS does not mean that there is anything wrong or broken about you. PTS is a response to trauma, but doesn't define who you are.

Info about our new study, testing a method for treating PTSD that has been incredibly popular with service members and veterans.
A clinical trial at our @CNRMstudies utilizes #VirtualReality in treatments for #PTSD by placing participants in a Motion Assisted, Multi-Modular Memory Desensitization Reconsolidation (3MDR) environment: bit.ly/43pOouM #PTSDAwarenessMonth
