Professor Stacie Warren

Today we spoke with Professor Stacie Warren, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Dallas, and the director of the Computational Neuropsychology & Affective Neuroscience Lab. We talked about the costs and causes of psychopathology, neurobiology, and ultimately how research like hers can inform and improve treatment.

Today we spoke with Professor Benjamin Goldstein, a professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto, and the Scientific Director of the Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). We talked about his research on the relationship between psychopathology and cardiovascular health, and how his work is informing treatments and changing how we view mental and physical health.

Today we spoke with Professor Aaron Kucyi, an Assistant Professor at Drexel University in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. We talked about focus, mind-wandering, and pain, discussing how neuroimaging is used in the lab, and how Professor Kucyi’s work can translate into real-world impact on mental health and well-being.

Today we spoke with Professor David Zald, the Henry Rutgers Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research at Rutgers University. We talked about dopamine and other neurobiological factors, changing perspectives on mental health symptoms and classification, and the future of treatment as we better understand our brains.

Today we spoke with Professor Christine Larson, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Director of the Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. Our conversation today covers cognitive control, uncertainty, and the relationship between anxiety and memory.

Today we spoke with Professor Thomas Prevot, project manager and lead of the Drug Development Program with Dr. Etienne Sibille at The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). Our conversation today covers cognitive dysfunction, GABA, and how the field of psychopathology and pharmacology is changing with the times.

Today on Neurofelicity we spoke with Professor Alexander Shackman, Director of the Affective and Translational Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Maryland. We talked about topics ranging from how we classify mental illnesses to how negative traits are correlated with psychological disorders. We discussed interesting case studies and the future of the field.

Today on Neurofelicity we spoke with Professor Cendri Hutcherson, director of the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Toronto. We covered topics in her research ranging from empathy to motivation, and how we can take these findings to better our daily lives.
