Stress and Resilience Study
San Francisco VA Medical Center is conducting research to better understand military stress and to develop new and more effective treatments. We are currently conducting a study that examines learning and memory during a computerized task. This is particularly important because of the role that learning and memory play in treatment and recovery from stress.
