From the Brain to Bedside: Translating Neuroscience Findings to Develop Innovative InterventionsSpeaker: Amy Krain Roy, Ph.D., Director, Integrative Neuroscience Program Fordham University Moderator: Jill Ehrenreich May, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Child Division, University of Miami Webinar Overview:WEBINAR PRESENTED BY THE SCCAP SCIENCE COMMITTEEIn the past 20 years, there has been an increasing emphasis on understanding mental illnesses as disorders of the brain. This webinar will provide a review of basic neuroscientific methods and help viewers become more critical consumers of neuroimaging publications. It will highlight recent research on pediatric irritability as an example of how neurocognitive research has helped to define a distinct group of children and inform novel interventions, and integrating neuroscientific findings with more traditional psychological methods to improve the characterization and treatment of child mental illness. By participating in this webinar a participant will be able to identify methods used to assess the brain’s response to specific behavioral probes; identify specific criteria for critically reading neuroimaging research; understand the brain’s different regional responses to Bipolar disorder and server mood dysregulation (SMD); identify regions in the brain that are associated with a computerized hostile interpretation bias intervention for DMDD and the reward processing that has shown altered function in irritable youth. Learning Objectives 1. Explain how neuroimaging methods are used to assess brain structure and function. 2. Become a critical reader of neuroimaging research. 3. Recognize the utility of brain-based models to distinguish child clinical disorders and develop interventions.
