Titre : SHARED BEHAVIORAL AND NEURAL PROCESSES UNDERLYING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN CUE-REWARD LEARNING AND ADDICTION LIABILITY
Résumé : Cues or stimuli in our environment can guide behavior in adaptive ways, bringing us closer to valuable resources. For some individuals, however, such cues can gain inordinate control and lead to maladaptive and oftentimes psychopathological behavior. Using an animal model, Dr. Flagel and her team of researchers have been able to elucidate the brain mechanisms that underlie this individual variation. In particular, she will present data demonstrating a role for the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, a midbrain structure that appears to act as a critical node to balance top-down cortical control mechanisms and subcortical motivational drive to mediate individual variation in response to environmental stimuli.
