Funded Activity Summary

Towards a continuum model of orienting and defensive responses. Orienting (OR) and Defensive Responses (DR) underlie important survival functions of attending to unexpected stimuli and avoiding harm.We will establish the first integrative profile of human OR/DR function, using simultaneous recording of brain activity and 'body' responsivity. Given sex and age variation in OR/DRs, both males and females spanning six decades will be studied. OR/DR abnormalities are associated with major disorders of attention and stress, which also vary with sex and age. We will examine relationships between OR/DR function and proneness to these disorders in healthy individuals. The results will provide a framework for developing prevention and intervention strategies.
