understanding what is behind the social functioning challenges that those with a history of opioid use disorder face. We found that patients in recovery from OUD who have social challenges are more impulsive and they activate more of their PFC when trying to regulate their responses. We also found that childhood trauma moderates this relationship, such that those with more exposure to adversity during childhood have increased impulsivity and decreased social functioning.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-667df27e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"667df27e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e80e22\" data-id=\"5e80e22\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b0b41b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"1b0b41b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4531\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4531\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">About Thais<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4531\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4531\"><p><b>What is your major and expected year of graduation?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">I am a senior neuroscience major in the college of liberal arts, with minors in public health and Italian.

This made me wonder if these were also related to social experiences. We all know how crucial it is to be social and to interact with others, so I wondered how all those pieces fitted together, and how the brain might also play a key part in this. In general, it was a desire I had to combine my understanding of the functionality of the brain with the real health issues that I was observing through research and through my personal experience.\u00a0<\/p><p><b style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">What does winning this award mean to you? <\/b><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">Winning this award is incredibly important to me.

The access to a variety of primary resources facilitated a thorough literature review and selecting the appropriate theoretical framework for my research. Additionally, the REDcap courses offered by Will Dean enhanced my proficiency with data management and understanding how to navigate stored data, which was crucial to the development of the data analysis portion of my research. I also met with librarian Travis Nace, who provided me guidance in literature search and citation management strategies. This substantially streamlined my research process in general. Overall, the Libraries&#8217; resources and expertise were crucial in completing my project and submitting it to a scientific journal.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-294f801b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"294f801b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4778f815\" data-id=\"4778f815\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48890cc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"48890cc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1211\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1211\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From Thais' faculty advisor<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1211\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1211\"><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">Thais is an intelligent, self-motivated, and dedicated student researcher.
