The detailed programme is being finalised and will be announced shortly.

Sessions

Session 1: Neural Circuits of Aversive Learning

Focus on the key brain regions and pathways that process punishment and negative prediction errors.

Session 2: Symmetries and Asymmetries in Reward and Punishment Learning

Compare and contrast the behavioral, computational, and neural signatures of learning from positive vs. negative outcomes.

Session 3: Punishment and Decision-Making in Psychopathology

Talks focused on addiction, anxiety, OCD, etc., linking core mechanisms to clinical phenomena.

Session 4: Modulators of Aversive Learning: From Pharmacology to Life Experience

Talks on novel pharmacological targets alongside talks on how developmental factors or life events shape these learning systems.
