Funded Activity Summary

As children mature into adolescents, social influences on emotional responding transition from parents to peers. Understanding how social stimuli shape neural circuits that ultimately regulate emotional behaviour will yield critical information for treatment and prevention of emotional disorders across the lifespan. The current project addresses this important issue through the use of functional imaging of emotion circuits in the brain and classical conditioning approaches to emotion responding.
