Apr 13th, 2022
A lecture Thursday, April 14, will examine the use of neuroscience-derived interventions to address mood disorders.
Kymberly Young, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, will deliver “Real-time fMRI Amygdala Neurofeedback for Major Depressive Disorder: Progress and Challenges” at 4 p.m. over Zoom as part of the Psychology Department Colloquium Series.
Dr. Young’s research focuses on understanding onset and recovery from mental illness and developing new neurobehavioural interventions, including real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback, which target deficits in the processing of positive stimuli in patients with mood disorders.
