We studied the neutron-rich isotope 42Si using inverse-kinematics proton scattering from a liquid hydrogen target at the Facility of Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. We utilized a supercomputer to run multiple...
The science of mental life is critical for understanding both how we function, and impairments in our functioning. However, understanding the causal mechanisms underlying mental health disorders and developing new treatments are...
Betty and Milton Holcombe have established a $50,000 endowment to benefit education majors from Bamberg, S.C. Betty Holcombe created the scholarship in honor of her college roommate, Elizabeth Carter Steedly.
Until such time as the new Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center is built, Winthrop University will dedicate its current Office of Alumni Relations as "The Milton W. and Betty Morgan Holcombe Alumni Center." Mrs. Holcombe noted that she...
Addicted individuals are highly susceptible to relapse when exposed to drug-associated conditioned stimuli (CSs; "drug cues") even after extensive periods of abstinence. Until recently, these maladaptive emotional drug memories...
Fear is a highly adaptive emotion that has evolved to promote survival and reproductive fitness. However, maladaptive expression of fear can lead to debilitating stressor-related and anxiety disorders such as post-traumatic...
Disrupting reconsolidation of the maladaptive memories underlying PTSD could be transformative for treatment. However, patients cannot undergo the direct re-exposure to trauma-cues used to induce reconsolidation in animal...
In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), functional behaviors such as checking that a door is locked become dysfunctional, maladaptive, and debilitating. However, it is currently unknown how aversive and appetitive motivations...
Chlorite is often present in water as a byproduct of the water purification process. Concentrations of chlorite above the allowed limit can cause damage to red blood cells and is therefore regularly monitored in drinking water...
Fluorescent probes have continually been an important field of study and are widely used across many fields of science, including the detection of molecules in biological systems. The most common probes work through a 'turning...
Extinction within the reconsolidation window, or 'retrieval-extinction', has received much research interest as a possible technique for targeting the reconsolidation of maladaptive memories with a behavioural intervention....

Working memory training improves children's cognitive performance on untrained tasks; however, little is known about the underlying neural mechanisms. This was investigated in 32 typically developing children aged 10-14 years...
Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder. The progression to pathological drug-seeking is thought to be driven by maladaptive learning processes which store and maintain associative memory, linking drug highs with cues and...
