Decoding Stress Susceptibility From Activity in Amygdala-Ventral Hippocampal Networks

Speaker: Frances Xia, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar • Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences • UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences ---------- Learning objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: • Describe brain-wide responses to reward in control and stress mice • Describe three changes in neural activity patterns at the single-neuron and population levels in amygdala and ventral hippocampus of mice susceptible to stress • Describe how activation of ventral hippocampal-amygdala pathway rescued anhedonic behavior ---------- UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds presentations are for educational purposes and intended only for behavioral/mental health professionals and clinical providers.
