In different experiments we will examine the effects of exogenous (intranasal oxytocin) and endogenous (providing social support) oxytocin on fear and reward related brain activation patterns, functional connectivity, stress reactivity and trauma - related psychopathology symptoms.

Her Lab (Brain Development: Perception to Action) uses a combination of behavioural and brain imaging tools (i.e. DTI and EEG) to probe the brain and investigate the patterns of brain activation as they relate to perceptual - motor and social - emotional development in children and yBrain Development: Perception to Action) uses a combination of behavioural and brain imaging tools (i.e. DTI and EEG) to probe the brain and investigate the patterns of brain activation as they relate to perceptual - motor and social - emotional development in children and ybrain imaging tools (i.e. DTI and EEG) to probe the brain and investigate the patterns of brain activation as they relate to perceptual - motor and social - emotional development in children and ybrain and investigate the patterns of brain activation as they relate to perceptual - motor and social - emotional development in children and ybrain activation as they relate to perceptual - motor and social - emotional development in children and youth.

Dr. Elias and the OCAR primarily focus on understanding why ERP works (e.g., fear tolerance versus fear habituation; the roles of guilt, willingness, and acceptance; patterns of brain activation during exposure; functional connectivity among brain regions), tailoring treatment to the individual (e.g., elucidation of predictors of response and their underlying processes / mechanisms and neural correlates; rigorous diagnostic characterization of obsessive compulsive related disorders), and evaluating innovative treatments and augmentation strategies (e.g., acceptance and commitment therapy; optimization of inhibitory learning; pharmacological augmentation).

In this way, we can produce a brain - wide cell - resolution map of the neuronal activation patterns related to specific behaviours.
