November 4, 2018
10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. PST
Session Description
How the brain processes social information influences our responses, our lives, and those around us. Using a variety of methods, neuroscientists are developing a clearer picture than ever before of how the animal brain processes social information, potentially helping us better understand a range of disorders defined by deficits in social functions. These recent findings provide important insight into social disorders manifesting in aggression, disorders of social learning, and other dysfunctions that affect individuals’ social interactions.
