Unlocking PTSD: From Single Cells to Improved Therapeutics
Neuroscience seminar by Matthew J. Girgenti, Yale School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry
Hosted by Brain & Behavior Research Foundation
Abstract
Matthew J. Girgenti discusses how research on individual brain cells and the three-dimensional organization of DNA is changing the biological understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder. The seminar examines how these approaches reveal trauma-associated brain changes and identify possible targets for more effective, personalized treatments. Girgenti is a neuroscientist in Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry. Jeffrey Borenstein moderates this Meet the Scientist session.
