On Thursday, Oct 28th at 3:30, Christine Heim, PhD, will speak in the Martin Weiner Lecture Series on the Psychology of Aging and the Brain, Body & Behavior program. Her presentation The Contribution of Childhood Trauma to the Neurobiology of Depression will take place in Levine Ross, Hassenfeld.
She will talk about how early life experiences, in particular childhood trauma, can have a long-lasting impact on human biology and psychology. Her research shows for example that childhood trauma can lead to specific neuroendocrine changes and contribute to the development of depression with a specific, biologically distinguishable profile, that is responsive to different types of treatment than other subtypes of depression.
Christine Heim is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
There are still some time slots available for meeting with Christine on Thurday (between 1pm and 3pm). Please contact Nicolas Rohleder if you’re interested!
