YCSC Grand Rounds: Advancing Psychiatric Care through Clinical Neuroscience

Session Description

This presentation will review symptomatic aspects of pediatric anxiety disorders and research on novel therapies, particularly those that are arising through research on attention. This provides novel insights for computer-based attention retraining therapies. Finally, during the discussion period, discussion will be entertained and encouraged on the approach to particularly difficult clinical problems, providing clinicians with guidance in these scenarios. This will include treatment-resistant anxiety, anxiety in very young children, and anxiety in highly co-morbid cases. The learning objectives for this session are to understand:

1. The types of data that inform translational neuroscience research
2. How attention relates to anxiety
3. How cognitive control changes with development

This will be a hybrid session, held live and in person from the Cohen Auditorium and simulcast via Zoom.
