(University of Texas at Arlington) UTA biology doctoral student Marquerite Herzog has been awarded a prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship to study the molecular genetic basis of changes in behavior seen when an individual loses an aggressive conflict. These traits, which often include a period of time of isolation or submissiveness, are often referred to as the 'loser' effect. Herzog's interest in this issue grew from her experiences as a military veteran who worked extensively with military personnel with combat-induced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.
