The Neuroplasticity of Affect and Implications for the Treatment of Psychopathology: Basic and Translational Perspectives
April 19 & 20, 2023
Presenters:
Hosted by: Richard J. Davidson, PhD & Ned H. Kalin, MD
We are thrilled to offer this year’s symposium in hybrid format!
The event will take place in-person at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery building on the University of Wisconsin campus, and all registered attendees will have the option of attending some or all of the talks virtually. Additionally, all talks will be recorded and distributed to registered attendees after the event.
As always, we will have an outstanding lineup of leading scientists presenting their research, along with in-depth discussions led by our students. The symposium includes five presentations, breakout discussions, poster session, and opportunities to connect with a variety of participants from programs across the country. Student researchers studying topics related to affective neuroscience are encouraged to apply for a travel award grant to attend (application deadline: March 15, 2023).
Each year we hear from attendees that this meeting, where experienced scientists make a special effort to reach out to trainees, helps forge enduring collegial relationships. We hope you can join us as we deliver lively discussions on the origins of psychiatric illnesses and provide creative insights into new potential treatments.
