Conte Colloquia on Mental Health
Risk and Opportunities: Adolescent brain development & psychological functioning
Leah Somerville, PhD
Assistant Professor of Psychology
Harvard University
This talk will address how neurodevelopmental shifts in circuit-level brain function contribute to changes in motivational, emotional, and social behavior during adolescence, and the psychological manifestations of these changes. Through inquiry in these areas, Dr. Somerville's lab hopes to bolster fundamental understanding of human neurodevelopment, and to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the simultaneous opportunities and risks associated with adolescence.
