Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Lecture Series: Emotions are Constructed of More Basic Networks

Wednesday, April 27, 2022 16:00to17:00

The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents "Emotions are Constructed of More Basic Networks"

Registration available .

Speaker:听Kristen Lindquist

Associate Professor,听Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

Abstract:听It has long been assumed that certain 鈥渂asic鈥 emotions emerge from anatomically ingrained circuits. Yet growing research suggests that emotions emerge from more basic networks that comprise the brain鈥檚 basic functional architecture. In this talk, I鈥檒l discuss evidence that human emotional experiences are associated with the co-activation of broad scale networks subserving psychological functions that are not specific to emotion.

叠颈辞:听Kristen Lindquist, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where she is a faculty member in the Social Psychology graduate program, the Developmental Psychology graduate program, and a member of the Human Neuroimaging Group. She is also faculty at the Biomedical Research Imaging Center and the Neurobiology Curriculum in the School of Medicine. She directs the Carolina Affective Science Lab, a group of interdisciplinary scientists who use the tools of social cognition, physiology, and neuroscience to understand how people experience emotions in their own bodies, see them in others, and how these processes contribute to social behaviour, well-being, and health across the lifespan.

Kristen received her B.A. in Psychology and English from Boston College in 2004, her Ph.D. in Psychology from Boston College in 2010, and she was a Harvard University Mind/Brain/Behaviour Initiative postdoctoral fellow from 2010-2012, during which she was affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, the Department of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital.


The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918鈥2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972鈥1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.

Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disorders.
