Biomedical Seminar Series
October 1, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Dr. Nicola Grissom will be visiting WSU Spokane on October 1st. Please plan to attend her seminar at 12:00pm in SAC 241, entitled ‘Let me try that again: reinforcement learning, sex differences, and autism-associated genotypes’
Dr. Nicola Grissom is the director of the NeuroGOAL lab, which is part of the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus. She works in mouse models to uncover the molecular mechanisms in mesocorticolimbic regions that permit us to learn new goal-directed behaviors, maintain motivation, and exert control over impulsive and habitual actions. Because these abilities are often altered in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, understanding the molecular keys to these abilities may reveal what makes these brains unique and identify new therapeutic avenues. In addition, because neurodevelopmental disorders are far more common in boys than in girls, she is invested in understanding how sex differences impact the development of these cognitive abilities.
