DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lorenzo Pasquini presents\, 'Neural systems underlying soci
 al-emotional functions'. \n\nRegistration via Eventbrite.\n\nLivestreaming
  via Vimeo.\n\nSpeaker: Lorenzo Pasquini\, Ph.D.\n\nMemory and Aging Cente
 r\, Neurology Department\, University of California\, San Francisco\n\nAbs
 tract: In this talk\, I will summarize my research assessing the neural ba
 sis of human social-emotional functions from four different perspectives. 
 In the first study\, which leveraged neuroimaging and histopathological da
 ta in a neurodegenerative disease of social-emotional dysfunction\, I will
  provide evidence for a chain of influence linking specific neuron-types t
 o specialized brain network in mediating the typical empathy deficits foun
 d in patients with frontotemporal dementia. Second\, I will present on the
  mid-term impact of psychedelic substances on brain network functional org
 anization and show that pharmacologically induced changes in these network
 s relate to altered interoception and affect. Third\, I will talk about ho
 w brain networks supporting social-emotional functions are highly dynamic 
 systems\, and that mapping these time-varying processes can reveal both in
 dividual state and trait characteristics in healthy older adults. Finally\
 , I will introduce my most recent work revealing emotion-specific patterns
  of autonomic nervous system activity\, and present evidence that these pa
 tterns are intrinsically generated at rest. I will conclude with an outloo
 k on how multimodal integration of autonomic and brain activity can improv
 e our understanding of social-emotional well-being in healthy and clinical
  populations.\n\nBio: I am a computational\, affective\, and clinical neur
 oscientist currently working as a postdoctoral scholar with Drs. Seeley an
 d Sturm at the Memory and Aging Center. My main research interest is to ex
 plore how the brain and the autonomic nervous system dynamically interact 
 to support social-emotional well-being. In my work I leverage post-mortem 
 histopathological data\, fMRI data\, and multichannel autonomic recordings
  of healthy older adults and patients with neurodegenerative diseases\, to
  map those neural systems that underlie human emotions and social behavior
 .\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advanc
 e the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the N
 euro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. 
 The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsych
 ology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will includ
 e scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborato
 rs locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a 
 virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisci
 plinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and
  cognitive disorders.\n
