DESCRIPTION:
 A Translational Approach for Understanding Individual 
 Differences in Emotions\n

 Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, 
 California National Primate Research Center 
 University of California, Davis. Discussant: 
 Steven Youngetob, Ph.D., Department of 
 Psychiatry. \n
 \n
 In this talk, I will make the 
 case for the importance of animal models of 
 emotion for making headway in understanding the 
 etiology of, and developing effective treatments 
 for, emotion-related psychopathology. 
  I will discuss new approaches in measuring affect 
 in animals that is directly translatable 
 to humans (i.e., methods that can be used in 
 across species without anthropomorphizing about 
 animals internal states). Finally, I will 
 present data demonstrating that neonatal damage 
 to the amygdale permanently blunts affective 
 responding in rhesus macaques creating a 
 behavioral phenotype that is observed in human 
 emotion-related psychopathology.\n
