Adolescent Responses to Threat: A Neuroscientific Perspective
Subject Area: Lifespan Development
Adolescence is associated with heightened responsivity to aversive outcomes not just rewards. It is also a vulnerable period for the emergence of anxiety disorders and aggressive behaviour. This symposium will focus on the processes and brain-regions that shape the development of normative and pathological fear, anxiety and aggression during adolescence.
