Targeting Maladaptive Emotional Memories to Treat Mental Health Disorders: Insights from Rodent Models
Maladaptive emotional memories contribute to the persistence of numerous mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), drug addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Using rodent behavioural models of the psychological processes relevant to these disorders, it is possible to identify potential treatment targets for the development of new therapies, including those based upon disrupting the reconsolidation of maladaptive emotional memories. Using examples from rodent models relevant to multiple mental health disorders, this talk will consider some of the opportunities and challenges that this approach provides.
Early life adversity, inflammation, and depression-onset: Results from the Teen Resilience Project
My research focuses broadly on the lifelong health disparities associated with experiences of adversity early in life. In this talk I will present the results of our recently completed Teen Resilience Project, a prospective and longitudinal study of first onset depression during adolescence. First, I will present the results on whether and how inflammatory processes may be shaped by early life adversity. Second, I will present data on the role of stress-induced inflammation in reward-related psychological processes. Finally, I will discuss the biobehavioral predictors of first-onset depression in this sample.
