Circuits of Emotion Recognition

Prof. Francesco Papaleo

ItalianInstituteof Technology

Recognition and reaction to other emotional states is a fundamental and evolutionary conserved ability shaping animals’ life and survival. Here, I will show how using a combination of anatomical, genetic, chemogenetic, microendoscopic and fiber photometry approaches in mice, we were able to demonstrate the contribution of selective cell populations and brain circuits in the ability to discriminate conspecifics based on their emotional state. Overall, our findings provide new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms of emotion recognition.

Il seminario offrirà una panoramica sui circuiti neurali coinvolti nel riconoscimento delle emozioni, con spunti dalle più recenti ricerche nel campo della neurobiologia.
