ForwardNeurocognitive Therapies and Translational Research Webinar Series: Session 2
Basic neuroscientific research on the mechanisms underlying cognitive, affective, and social processes have been slow in penetrating real-world psychology/psychiatry clinics. This is a missed opportunity for maximizing and advancing our understanding of core patterns of psychopathology and treatment response in neuropsychiatric disorders. This series will bring together members from the neuroscience, medical, and psychiatry/psychology communities to translate basic science findings into real-world clinical practice.
Session 2: December 15, 2020 at 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST/16:00 UTC (other time zones)
“Neuroscience-Informed Precision Psychiatry”
Leanne Williams, Ph.D.
Dr. Williams is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is a cognitive neuroscientist who has been committed to the translation of advancements in neuroimaging, technology, and computer science to improve the detection of mental illness and optimization of treatment techniques. As Director of the PanLab for Precision Psychiatry and Translational Neuroscience, she employs a range of methodologies, including advanced neuroimaging techniques, transcranical magnetic stimulation, psychopharmacology, and smartphone sampling to examine core mechanisms cutting across disorder categories. Her program of research has transformed our conceptualization of depression and anxiety by revealing common and distinct brain circuits relevant for classification and prediction, and is leading the way in translating basic neuroscience to real-world clinical applications. More information about her exciting research, as well as links to her publications, can be found here: http://williamspanlab.com/publications.
Learning Objectives
Neurocognitive Therapies and Translational Research Webinar Series:
- To evaluate promising neuroscientific findings in the areas of emotion, socioemotional learning and development, cognition, and therapeutic change that have significant potential to improve prevention and intervention efforts for mental illness.
- To recognize common barriers to the translation and adoption of basic science in real-world clinical practice.
- To articulate the benefits of integrating neuroscientific research in clinical practice in terms of prevention, assessment, and treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders.
