Professor Geoffrey J Goodhill
The Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine is seeking a tenure-track investigator at the level of Assistant Professor to develop an innovative research program in Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience. The successful candidate will join a thriving theoretical/computational neuroscience community at Washington University, including the new Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience. In addition, the Department also has world-class research strengths in systems, circuits and behavior, cellular and molecular neuroscience using a variety of animal models including worms, flies, zebrafish, rodents and non-human primates. The Department’s focus on fundamental neuroscience, outstanding research support facilities, and the depth, breadth and collegiality of our culture provide an exceptional environment to launch your independent research program.
Emotions are constructed of more basic networks
It has long been assumed that certain “basic” emotions emerge from anatomically ingrained circuits.

In this talk, I’ll discuss evidence that human emotional experiences are associated with the co-activation of broadscale networks subserving psychological functions that are not specific to emotion.
