The Brain Circuits Governing Social Decisions
14 November 2022
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PST
Session Description
The pandemic has made it clear that social needs are a need like any other. A wide array of brain areas contributes to our complex and nuanced social behaviors, ranging from reward circuits to memory regions. Researchers will share how different cells and circuits assess social need, make decisions about altruism, judge the quality of social interactions, and how these functions go awry after isolation or trauma.
