Dr. Lapate received an grant by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) titled: “Lateral prefrontal organization in emotion: representational and causal mechanisms”, which will support research examining the functional specificity of distinct prefrontal regions in modulating emotional responding during goal-directed as well as during spontaneous affective processing. To that end, we will combine advanced multivariate analysis of fMRI data and causal methods (transcranial magnetic stimulation/TMS) to establish the functional and representational specificity of distinct prefrontal regions in emotion. Congratulations, Dr. Lapate & the LEAP Neuro lab!
