Hi Laura Lee,

I hope you had a nice spring break! This talk may be of interest to some folks at the COE/PSI, but I’m not sure of the most appropriate way of passing the information along. Do you mind?

Thank you!
Nicole

Hi everyone,

Dr. Sarah Whittle from the University of Melbourne, Australia, will be in Eugene in April and will be giving a brownbag talk next week on Thursday, April 7th at 11:30 am in Straub 257.

Neurodevelopmental correlates of moral emotions during adolescence

Abstract: The period spanning adolescence and early adulthood (i.e., youth) is critical for both brain and moral development. While we know a great deal about the developing brain and 'basic' emotions, we know very little about how brain development is associated with moral emotions. In this talk I will present data on the neuro(anatomical)developmental and functional basis of guilt and shame, moral emotions that guide youth to become less self-oriented and to develop greater emotional maturity.

Associate Professor Sarah Whittle is currently a Principal Research Fellow and head of the Social Affective NeuroDevelopment (SAND) Team at the Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Center at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Her primary research interests lie in child and adolescent development, both from a neurobiological and psychological perspective. She is particularly interested in how environmental factors shape brain development, and in turn have consequences for risk and resilience for the development of depression and other common adolescent-onset mental disorders.
