Brain circuits for parsing aversion

该项目旨在绘制不良事件塑造我们决策和行为的大脑机制图。它结合了尖端神经科学技术和实验心理学的先进方法。这个项目希望提供关于我们如何学习可避免和不可避免的危险来指导行为的新知识，从关键的神经递质系统到特定的大脑回路。预期结果包括我们对厌恶学习过程、动机和决策的理解有了显著的进步。随着理论的发展，这个项目的成果可以用来帮助抑郁症和焦虑症的治疗发展，其中厌恶功能障碍是一个定义特征。

This project aims to map the brain mechanisms by which adverse events shape our decisions and behaviour. It combines cutting-edge neuroscience techniques with advanced approaches from experimental psychology. This project expects to provide new knowledge about how we learn about avoidable and unavoidable danger to guide behaviour, from critical neurotransmitter systems to specific brain circuits. Expected outcomes include significant advancements in our understanding of aversive learning processes, motivation and decision-making. Alongside theory development, the outcomes of this project can be used to benefit the development of treatments for depression and anxiety disorders, of which dysfunctions in aversion are a defining feature.
