Circuits of Emotion Recognition and Social Decision-Making: From Behavior to Neural Mechanisms
Discover innovative methods to study emotion recognition and social decision-making.
- Explore the power of Fiber Photometry for real-time neural activity monitoring in freely moving animals.
- Learn how to integrate advanced tools like behavioral paradigms, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and optogenetics to enhance your neuroscience research.
- Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from world-renowned experts and unlock the potential of cutting-edge neuroscience tools.
Specific topics webinar will be focused on illustration behavioral paradigms to assess rodent's ability to detect and respond to emotional changes in others rodents. There will presented information about applying multifunctional techniques (e.g. in vivo electrophysiology, in vivo chemogenetics, in vivo optogenetics, in vivo miniendoscopes, in vivo fiber photometry) for understanding neural circuits underlying emotion recognition.
