DESCRIPTION:<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>BEHAVIORAL CONTROL:THE ROLES OF THE MEDIAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX IN MEDIATING RESILIENCE</strong><br />
STEVEN F. MAIER (UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER)<br />
CHAIR: JOHN CHRISTIANSON<br />
<br />
A number of experiences have been shown to produce resistance/resilience in the face of adversity. The experience of behavioral control over an adverse event is arguably the most potent, and blunts behavioral and neurochemical reactions not only to the adverse event being experienced, but to future adverse events as well. Research that reveals the neural mechanisms that produce this present and future resistance/resilience will be reviewed, and will focus on two circuits, both of which include the medial prefrontal cortex&mdash;one that detects the presence of control and one that then uses this information to inhibit limbic and brainstem stressor-responsive structures. The implications of this work will then be used to discuss mechanisms of resistance/resilience more generally, and other manipulations that produce resistance/resilience.</span>
