Topic: Social homeostasis

The European College of Neuropsychopharmacology connects fundamental brain research with psychiatric and neurological treatment through keynote and plenary lectures, scientific symposia, educational updates, discussions and posters. The programme examines how mechanisms at molecular, circuit and social levels can inform interventions for brain disorders. Kay M. Tye (Salk Institute) addresses neural regulation of social homeostasis. Ian Maze (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) examines protein monoaminylation in development, plasticity and disease. Oliver Howes (King’s College London) con

How does our brain rapidly determine if something is good or bad? How do we know our place within a social group? How do we know how to behave appropriately in dynamic environments with ever-changing conditions? The Tye Lab is interested in understanding how neural circuits important for driving positive and negative motivational valence (seeking pleasure or avoiding punishment) are anatomically, genetically and functionally arranged. We study the neural mechanisms that underlie a wide range of behaviors ranging from learned to innate, including social, feeding, reward-seeking and anxiety-rela
