DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n\n\nRole of Dopamine in Dec
 ision Making and Cognitive Control\n\nAbstract: Dopamine has long been imp
 licated in the cognitive control of behavior. Cognitive deficits are commo
 n in disorders that implicate dopamine\, such as Parkinson’s disease\, add
 iction\, ADHD\, and depression\, and such deficits are often treated with 
 dopaminergic drugs. Roshan will review recent studies in which her team ha
 ve combined pharmacological interventions with neuroimaging and computatio
 nal modeling to unravel dopamine’s role in behavioral control. Results sug
 gest key contributions of striatal dopamine-dependent changes in lower-ord
 er learning and decision parameters to changes in higher-order cognitive c
 ontrol. The work also illustrates how computational model-derived inferenc
 e of striatal dopaminergic learning parameters can help predict changes in
  clinically relevant behavioral control problems including impulse control
  disorder in Parkinson’s disease.\n\nRoshan Cools\n\nProfessor of Cognitiv
 e Neuropsychiatry\, Donders Institute for Brain\, Cognition and Behaviour 
 & Department of Psychiatry\, Radboud University Medical Center\n\nRoshan C
 ools is Principal Investigator at the Donders Institute for Brain\, Cognit
 ion and Behaviour and Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychiatry at the Radbou
 d University Medical Center. She is an expert in the chemical neuromodulat
 ion of human cognition and motivation. Her PhD is from the University of C
 ambridge (UK)\, where she held Royal Society research fellowships and did 
 a postdoc at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at UC Berkeley. At the
  Donders\, she steers an active research group (www.roshancools.com)\, com
 bining psychopharmacology\, fMRI\, chemical PET imaging\, computational co
 gnitive modelling\, neurostimulation and patient work to unravel how behav
 ioral control strategies are adaptively tuned to our constantly changing e
 nvironment\, modulated by the major ascending neuromodulators\, including 
 dopamine\, serotonin and noradrenaline. She holds a Horizon Europe ERC Adv
 anced grant\, is a lead scientist of the Human Brain Project\, and is a me
 mber of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).\n
