She
received her Ph.D. from the NYU School of Medicine and her graduate work focused on protein synthesis
signaling and subsequent proteomic changes underlying ameliorative
neural stimuli.
In the present study, we explored the psychological and
neural underpinnings of attachment - induced safety by examining whether viewing an attachment figure during a threatening experience —
receiving physical pain — led to increased activity in a
neural region associated with safety
signaling and a corresponding reduction in the threatening or distressing experience of physical pain.
