PAIR 6001 Week 07 - Translational Neuroscience of Mental Health: Neuroimaging and Neuroendocrinology

Topic Overview:

This lecture, conducted by MHRC, will cover the principles of neuroscience, application of neuroscience techniques and translations of these principles into context of mental health. It is designed to foster meaningful connections between neuroscientists and other scholars, and the people whose lives could be impacted by their work. Participants will engage in expert-led discussions on the latest research and emerging technologies. The session will mainly focus on cutting-edge neuroscience techniques, such as advancements in brain imaging and endocrinology approaches, and their potential applications on mental health issues.

Key Topics:

1. Scope and applications of translational neuroscience: from phenomenology to mechanism
2. Imaging and manipulating brain functions related to non-social and social behaviours
3. Emerging technologies in modulating cognitive/affective functions
4. New directions of combining neuroimaging and artificial intelligence in mental health issues

 

Teaching Format:

This session will include expert-led presentations, interactive discussions, and case study workshops. Participants will critically assess the potential of these novel treatments and explore their implications for clinical practice.
