Session Description
The social interactions of our daily lives, both in-person and online, are influenced by biological processes. Neuroscientists will share new insights into how the brain processes social information, what may influence this — including the gut microbiome and biological sex — and how findings could be harnessed in treating autism and mood disorders. Researchers will also explain the surprising use of prairie voles for studying the neural basis of empathy, and how people determine trustworthiness on social media.
