EATON Local Miami Valley Carrer Technology Center STEM instructor Laini Ferriell has been awarded the 2021 Dayton Regional STEM Center’s (DRSC) STEM Education Leadership & Service Award.
Ferriell was nominated by her MVCTC Satellite Supervisor, Mr. Jesse Maxfield, who stated, “Laini strives to provide the best opportunities for her students. She is constantly exploring how she can further incorporate STEM-based projects into her classroom. Laini is a true leader when it comes to STEM education.”
In a congratulation letter to Ferriell, Dayton Regional STEM Center Director Director Elizabeth Wolfe-Eberly stated, “ We received many high-quality applications which were systematically reviewed by a panel of judges external to the staff of the DRSC. This panel included K-12 educators, higher education STEM representatives and representatives from local STEM business and industry.”
Study provides preliminary evidence for a neurocognitive subtype of PTSD
A major obstacle in understanding and treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is its clinical and neurobiological heterogeneity. In order to better treat the condition and address this barrier, the field has become increasingly interested in identifying subtypes of PTSD based on dysfunction in neural networks alongside cognitive impairments that may underlie the development and maintenance of symptoms.
VA and BU researchers have now found a marker of PTSD in brain regions associated with emotional regulation. This marker was strongest in those with clinically impaired executive function or the ability to engage in complex goal-directed behavior, explained corresponding author Audreyana Jagger-Rickels, PhD, a post-doctoral scientist in the Boston Attention and Learning Lab (BALLAB) at the VA Boston Healthcare System.
