"Translating affective neuroscience to intervention: An examination of reward responsiveness in the development and treatment of depression"
December 17 Psychiatry Grand Rounds | Autumn Kujawa, PhD
Webinar ID: 964 3660 6801
https://zoom.us/j/96436606801
Abstract:
This presentation will include a series of studies examining reward responsiveness across development and identifying vulnerabilities for later emergence of depression. Recent data will be presented on individual differences in neural processing of rewards as predictors of response to intervention, and translational implications for personalized depression prevention will be discussed.
Objectives:
The activity is designed to help the learner:
1. Explain methods for measuring reward responsiveness across development
2. Describe how affective neuroscience can be applied to understand vulnerability to depression
3. Discuss implications of neuroscience research for early intervention and prevention
