Mapping the neural dynamics of dominance and defeat
Social experiences can have lasting changes on behavior and affective state. In particular, repeated wins and losses during fighting can facilitate and suppress future aggressive behavior, leading to persistent high aggression or low aggression states. We use a combination of techniques for multi-region neural recording, perturbation, behavioral analysis, and modeling to understand how nodes in the brain’s subcortical “social decision-making network” encode and transform aggressive motivation into action, and how these circuits change following social experience.
Self as Processes (BACN Mid-career Prize Lecture 2023)
An understanding of the self helps explain not only human thoughts, feelings, attitudes but also many aspects of everyday behaviour. This talk focuses on a viewpoint - self as processes. This viewpoint emphasizes the dynamics of the self that best connects with the development of the self over time and its realist orientation. We are combining psychological experiments and data mining to comprehend the stability and adaptability of the self across various populations. In this talk, I draw on evidence from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and machine learning approaches to demonstrate why and how self-association affects cognition and how it is modulated by various social experiences and situational factors
