\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Tracey Shors is a Distinguished Professor in Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology and the Center for Collaborative Neuroscience at Rutgers University.\u00a0Dr. Shors is currently studying how our brains ruminate on trauma-related memories and how this process can interfere with our everyday lives, while making still more memories. She is also focused on identifying effective tools for reducing repetitive thoughts that reinforce our everyday traumas. Her brain fitness program, known as MAP Train My Brain combines \u201cmental and physical\u201d training with silent meditation and aerobic exercise to decrease trauma-related and repetitive thoughts, as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Dr. Shors has\u00a0published\u00a0a popular press book\u00a0entitled\u00a0Everyday Trauma<\/em><\/a>, which outlines her perspective on trauma and how it can become an everyday experience because of repetitive thoughts, especially those about the past. The book was featured on\u00a0Good Morning America, Think Radio\u00a0<\/em>and in the\u00a0New York Times Book Review.\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Shors has published her scientific discoveries in ~150 publications, including contributions in Nature,<\/em> Science, Nature Neuroscience<\/em>,\u00a0Journal of Neuroscience <\/em>and Translational Psychiatry.\u00a0<\/em>Dr. Shors recently recognized with W. Horsley Gantt Medal from the Pavlovian Society for the “noble pursuit of truth.”\u00a0Her work has been\u00a0featured in media outlets including the\u00a0New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC News, <\/em>and\u00a0NPR<\/em>, with workshops for\u00a0Sounds True <\/em>and\u00a0Omega Institute.<\/i><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year, Dr. Shors and her research team are using functional brain imaging to identify neuronal networks affected by trauma as well as those involved in the recovery process. By understanding how and why our brain tend to ruminate, while training them with new mental and physical skills, we are better equipped to leave our pasts behind and live in a brighter future.<\/h4>\n
