Exploring the neurocomputational mechanisms of adaptive and pathological anxiety. (360G-Wellcome-106816_Z_15_Z)

£80,000

At present the majority of people with anxiety fail to respond to their first treatment. Refining our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning anxiety, as well as the process by which adaptive anxiety becomes maladaptive is critical in order to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. To this end, the objective for this collaborative doctoral research project between UCL and the NIMH is to investigate the neurocomputational basis of adaptive and pathological anxiety. Specifically, what are the decision-making variables involved in adaptive and pathological anxiety and what are the underlying computations in the neural level?
