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.

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.

It has been shown that a
brain network including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and lateral prefrontal cortex areas, mostly modulated by the neurotransmitter dopamine, subserves the function of regulating thoughts, emotions and responses.13
Patterns of
activation of these
brain structures are
related to the efficiency of resolving conflict14 and variations in the size and structure of the ACC have been
related to the EC score obtained in temperament questionnaires.15
