Neural mechanism linking interoception to decision-making
Abstract coming soon
Katalin Gothard, MD, PhD
Professor of Physiology and Neuroscience, The University of Arizona | she/her
Katalin Gothard obtained her M.D. in Romania, followed by postgraduate training in neurosurgery and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. Her worked is focused on how the brain integrates internal bodily states, emotional signals, and social information to guide adaptive behavior. Her research bridges systems neuroscience, primate behavior, and affective science, combining quantitative physiology with naturalistic behavioral paradigms to uncover how the amygdala and related circuits coordinate perception, emotion, and decision-making.
Hosted by Karen Parker (Parker Lab - Social Neurosciences Research Program)
Sign up for Speaker Meet-ups
Engagement with our seminar speakers extends beyond the lecture. On seminar days, invited speakers meet one-on-one with faculty members, have lunch with a small group of trainees, and enjoy dinner with a small group of faculty and the speaker's host.
