Section Title:
CurrentTopicsAffectiveNeurosci
Section Info:
Current Topics in Affective Neurosciences Emotion is a double-edged sword. Iin some circumstances the enhanced significance of emotional stimuli can benefit cognitive processes (e.g. better memory for emotional events), while in others it can hinder them and cause detrimental effects on behavior (e.g., increased emotional distractibility). On the other hand, emotion processing is also susceptible to cognitive influences (e.g., cognitive control of emotion). Despite their relevance for understanding brain function in both healthy and clinical conditions, the neural mechanisms mediating the interactions between emotion and cognition are not well understood. This seminar will discuss current topics in the literature on emotion-cognition interactions, with a focus on the associated neural correlates. ( Will meet in Room 4369)

Section Title:
Behav Neurosci of Adolescence
Section Info:
Adolescence, which is the period between childhood and adulthood, is marked by significant changes in physiology and behavior. It is also a period when psychopathology starts to develop or otherwise become manifest. In this seminar, we will explore some of the latest research and controversies in the behavioral neuroscience of adolescence. Our focus will be on the growing literature, including studies in both humans and animal models, that seeks to identify what is unique about the adolescent brain and behavior and why this might confer a heightened vulnerability to develop addiction and other psychopathologies. Weekly class meetings will involve discussion and critical evaluation of readings.

Section Title:
Testing DecisionTheories
Section Info:
The seminar discusses quantitative methods for testing theories of decision making with a strong emphasis on the mathematical modeling of variability within and between decision makers. Empirical paradigms of particular interest are choice under risk or uncertainty, intertemporal choice, and probabilistic inference. Participants will jointly select relevant literature for discussion. Participants are encouraged to carry out a research project in which they use contemporary methods.
