Developmental circuit mechanisms of adaptive threat avoidance

MAR 15, 2022 | 16:00 CET | ZOOM ID: 7754910236

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) makes essential contributions to learning, mood, and decision making, including evaluating and responding to threats. mPFC circuits undergo an exceptionally prolonged maturation that is likely necessary to support complex behaviors, but extends the developmental window during which insults can perturb circuit assembly. Indeed, mPFC dysfunction is linked to many psychiatric disorders including anxiety and depression, which often arise during adolescence and are characterized by inappropriate avoidance.

"To help everyone parse the next biological explanation of female/male differences in behaviour that appears in the academic literature or popular media, this talk will review eight things everyone should know, look out for, and ask: from the nitty-gritty of whether there even is a difference, to the grand sweep of evolutionary explanations."
