Abstract We present evidence that a multitude of mid‐frontal event‐related potential ( ERP ) components partially reflect common theta band oscillatory process. Specifically, in the N 2 time range and error‐related negativity are parsimoniously characterized as reflections activities. Forty participants completed three different tasks with varying stimulus–response demands. Permutation tests were used to identify dominant time–frequency responses stimulus‐ response‐locked conditions well...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts communication and increases risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, mechanisms by which TBI-related disruption of confers PTSD have not been successfully elucidated in humans. This may be part because functional MRI (fMRI), the most common technique measuring communication, is unreliable characterizing individual patients. this unreliability can overcome with sufficient within-individual data. Here, we examined whether relationships...
Comorbidity in diagnosis raises critical challenges for psychological assessment and treatment. The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Project, launched by the National Institutes of Mental Health, proposes domains functioning as a way to conceptualize overlap between comorbid conditions inform treatment selection. However, further research is needed understand common comorbidities (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] substance use [SUD]) from an RDoC framework how existing...
The co-occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use (PTSD-SUD) can pose significant problems for rural pregnant postpartum women (PPW) the well-being their children. Although effective treatments exist, PPW experience limitations in ability to access engage treatment that may be compounded by various aspects settings, so providers must attentive these barriers order address this pressing public health need. In addition, as part increasing care, it is important consider costs...
Undergraduate mentoring and research internships promote entry into graduate training, academic success, productivity, greater career satisfaction. Most pathway programs to enhance representation within academia health care intervene at the level, leaving a critical gap in undergraduate training. The Veterans Health Administration's (VHA's) national network of clinicians researchers is uniquely suited provide equitable access quality mentorship education for undergraduates interested...
Intrusive thoughts are characteristic of psychological disorders; attempts to cope can become maladaptive perpetuating the problem (e.g., thought suppression), while others provide long-term symptoms relief acceptance). Although emerging research begins explore neural correlates these strategies in healthy population, it is important populations more likely naturally attempt use such (clinical symptoms). The present study explored if cognitive manage intrusive cognitions would be...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) are highly comorbid among the veteran population. Impulsivity, particularly negative positive urgency, prevalent within this dual-diagnosis population associated with outcomes. One possible correlate of negative/positive urgency is intolerance uncertainty (IU). IU exacerbated PTSD symptom severity increased risk for use. However, few studies have examined link between in populations. This study aimed to examine whether...
Abstract A promising approach to enhancing trauma-focused treatment is moral elevation—feeling inspired by witnessing a virtuous act. This study explored potential links between eliciting elevation and relevant outcomes in series of case examples. Veterans with probable posttraumatic stress disorder completed experimental tasks including written trauma narrative exercise watching elevation-eliciting videos. Participants also baseline assessments, repeated measures trauma-related cognitions,...
Abstract Objective Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are commonly characterized by neural changes that impair physical, behavioral, and cognitive functioning across diverse ages demographics. Cognitive complaints frequently include memory difficulties, with deficits in episodic greatly impairing daily future planning. Although various interventions rehabilitation techniques have been implemented for TBI, limited treatment options available TBI-driven complaints. Recent research has explored the...
Background and Objectives: A promising approach to incorporate positive psychology principles into trauma-focused treatment is moral elevation—feeling inspired by witnessing a virtuous act. This study aimed explore potential links between inducing elevation relevant outcomes in series of case examples.Methods: Veterans with probable PTSD completed experimental tasks including written trauma narrative exercise watching videos designed elicit elevation. Participants also baseline assessments,...
