Dr. Morilak Discusses New Approach for PTSD Research

On December 15th, 2012, Dr. David Morilak (pictured), Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, was interviewed for a story that aired on KENS5-TV, by local Medical and Health Reporter, Wendy Rigby, titled 'Stressed out rats help San Antonio scientists study PTSD'.

Dr. Morilak and Dr. Megan Roth discuss new techniques being explored in the laboratory, in an effort to try and find new ways to help those afflicted with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Because they so closely resemble humans reactions to stress, Dr. Morilak's lab uses rats to help determine their reactions to stress and the biological effects.
