Early Stage Investigator Series

Integrating Ecological and Neuroimaging Methods to Characterize Emotion Regulation in Depression

Sarah Herzog, PhD  
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology (in Psychiatry) 
Columbia University Medical Center

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe how dynamic, real-time assessment methods such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA) overcome the limitations of traditional single-timepoint self-report measures for emotion regulation and suicidal ideation in clinical populations.
  2. Explain the rationale for and applications of a computationally derived neural signature of emotion regulation, and how this fMRI-based measure addresses key limitations of conventional assessments of emotion regulation.
  3. Identify neurobiological markers relevant to depression that are associated with the emergence and fluctuation of mood symptoms and suicidal ideation in real-world settings.

Autism and Schizophrenia: Understanding the Intersection

Amandeep Jutla, MD 
Associate Research Scientist

  • Identify rare genetic variants shared between autism and schizophrenia
  • Explain how quantitative constructs such as cognitive control and perceptual inference may relate to clinical features of psychosis
