Dr. David Hsu
The Psychology Colloquium Series presents Dr. David Hsu on “Romantic Rejection, Brain Opioids, and Depression” on Friday, Feb. 23, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Hsu received his Ph.D. in Biological Psychology from the University of Wisconsin in 2002. He is currently an assistant professor in the Psychiatry Department at Stony Brook School of Medicine.
Hsu is using neuroimaging methods (PET and fMRI) to identify patterns of neural activity during social rejection and acceptance that predict these changes in behavior. His long-term goals are to a) determine how neural responses to social cues are associated with changes in mood, cognition, and behavior, b) identify gene x environment interactions that are critical in shaping these responses, and c) investigate how abnormal responses to social cues contribute to psychiatric disorders.
