Two Yale Department of Psychiatry affiliates will give presentations at the 2020 International Society for Research on Impulsivity (Virtual) Meeting.
The three-day meeting kicks off Thursday, April 30 and will continue Friday, May 1, and Monday, May 4. Presenters will include Sarah Lichenstein, PhD, a Postdoctoral Fellow, who will present, “Brain-based prediction of opioid versus cocaine abstinence” during the April 30 session, and Stephanie Groman, PhD, Associate Research Scientist in Psychiatry, who will present, “Elucidating the role of orbitofrontal circuits in reinforcement learning and addiction-relevant mechanisms in rat.”
The will be held on Zoom. The link to log in is https://zoom.us/j/97339072127.
