The Effects of A Nootropic Supplement On Markers of Stress, Mood, Resiliency, and Marksmanship in Active Duty Soldiers

The main purpose of this study is to determine if a commercially available nootropic might improve marksmanship performance (accuracy and target acquisition time). Additionally, changes in hair cortisol levels, mood as indicated by POMs results and resiliency as indicated by DRS-15 results will be measured. The use of the dietary supplement, Alpha Brain, in this research is not intended for therapeutic purposes

Scaffolding the Transition to Chronic Pain

The long-term goal of this research project is to understand the role of scaffolding proteins in the regulation of nociceptor plasticity. Dynamic changes to proteins expressed in primary afferent terminals significantly alter pain sensation. For instance, ion channel phosphorylation can modulate channel activity, thereby affecting acute nocifensive responses to noxious stimuli. However, states of persistent pain likely rely on multiple mechanisms of dynamic protein modifications to maintain peripheral nociceptor sensitization.
