New approaches to addiction treatment are emerging from San Antonio.

A UT San Antonio researcher is investigating whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and incentive-based interventions can help individuals with alcohol use disorder reduce cravings and support long-term recovery. The work reflects a growing effort to combine neuroscience, technology and behavioral science to address one of the nation's most challenging public health issues.

Guided by mentorship and shaped by her educational and clinical experience, Maria Smereka-Hladio found a collaborative environment where students and faculty genuinely support one another.

As a first-generation medical student, Smereka-Hladio said she originally didn’t know where to start when it came to pursuing a career in medicine, but the access to faculty advising at the Long School of Medicine has been invaluable.

Community has remained a defining part of her medical school experience, especially through the Veritas program, where peer and faculty advisors have offered consistent guidance. She also had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad clinical immersion program in Ecuador.

Now preparing for her fourth year, Smereka-Hladio is hopeful about her possibilities for the future and is excited to pursue emergency medicine. Learn more about her unique journey: https://bit.ly/3StFb3Y

For veterans with traumatic brain injuries, AI offers a new weapon against headaches

PTSD can make headache pain worse, according to Donald McGeary, PhD, a professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UT San Antonio.

McGeary told Texas Public Radio he asks patients at his clinic to fill out “pain diaries.” For example, if a patient noted that they tend to have headaches when it's humid or rainy, the program will alert them when similar conditions are approaching.

AI can use these details to help detect patterns and unlock personalized treatments. Learn more about how McGeary’s program uses an AI model to predict headaches and avoid triggers: https://bit.ly/442Q5jw
