Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) frequently occur and can lead to lasting negative cognitive, physical, and mental health outcomes. The biological response to even mild TBIs (mTBI) includes well-charact...

Findings highlight that the decision aids are easy-to-use, feasible to implement, and capable of improving Veteran-centered management of sleep disorders among those with mTBI. Nonetheless, clinicians...

Findings highlight the risk of SI and SA by female and male SMs post-index TBI, with female SMs being at higher risk than males, as well as the need for suicide risk screening for those with a history...

Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.

Over the past decade, studies have been conducted to increase the understanding of associations between the fecal microbiome and human health. In conjunction, researchers have investigated the effects...

Researchers are studying whether probiotics and improved gut health may help some veterans who are coping with PTSD.

These efforts are designed to accelerate rehabilitation research in neurologic disorders by allowing for cross-study and cross-condition comparisons and to encourage new CDE development.

Results suggest that specific domains of impulsivity and aggression, and their interaction with depression, play a role in the suicide process. These findings offer insight into strategies to enhance ...

This study revealed that facility resources (e.g., staffing levels) and aspects of facility culture (e.g., commitment to interdisciplinary care) may drive variable access to inpatient psychiatric occu...

Suicide rates are high in United States (U.S.) Pacific Island Territories, where large numbers of Veterans reside. Yet knowledge of suicidal self-directed violence (SSDV) among Veterans in this region...

During deployments, Navy personnel have reported concerning levels of mental health symptoms, as well as suicidal ideation. Upstream efforts are needed to identify and mitigate symptoms, thereby, redu...

These results suggest the importance of integrating IgG K seropositivity (which, in addition to local oral pathogens may also reflect their distal translocation) with clinical, bacteriological and rad...

Variability in SI and SA prevalence among Veterans at state, divisional and regional levels supports the need for nuanced surveillance efforts, along with targeted prevention efforts in areas at great...

Our findings suggest potentially unmet need for outpatient occupational therapy among Veterans discharged from VHA inpatient psychiatric care, laying the foundation for efforts aimed at promoting equi...

In sum, machine learning analyses have identified risk factors associated with suicide in military populations, which span a wide range of psychological, biological, and sociocultural factors, highlig...

A new approach to drug design can deliver medicine directly to the gut in mice at significantly lower doses than current inflammatory bowel disease treatments.

Oral LGG altered the abundance of CSF proteins associated with extracellular scaffolding, synaptic plasticity, and glutamatergic signaling. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that oral admi...

Despite insufficient evidence to recommend for or against suicide risk screening programs as a means for reducing suicide attempts or deaths, the VA/DOD Work Group identified validated tools that coul...

Description: The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) updated the 2019 joint clinical practice guideline (CPG) for assessing and managing patients who are at r...

Markers of chronic infection Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) have been associated with suicidal self-directed violence (SSDV). We present the results of the first study relating T. gondi...

Epidemiological studies have linked dirty air to dementia and other brain disorders. Now researchers are trying to determine how pollutants do their damage, and how much harm they cause.

The 2025 Gordon Research Conference on Microbiology of the Built Environment will be held in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. Apply today to reserve your spot.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a potential lifestyle intervention for mitigating cognitive decline and enhancing brain health in individuals…
