Choreography of neural systems across adolescence that can go wrong - Monique ErnstMar 14, 2019 (Thu) | 12:00 PM -1:00 PM

Choreography implies an harmonious combination of changes in objects, or parts of objects, across time and space, which obey a predetermined organization and synchronization, but which leaves room for serendipity. This is a great analogy to what happens during development of brain circuits. In this talk, I will consider a neural systems model of motivated behavior, the triadic model, that was initially proposed as a heuristic tool to understand the emergence of the unique typical adolescent behaviors. This adolescent phenotype, including particularly the increase in risk-taking, emotional intensity and emotional lability, has attracted much research because of its potentially disastrous consequences.
