Creative Biolabs Webinar

Free Webinar: Neural Circuits of Survival: How the Brain Orchestrates Defensive Behavior

What's our upcoming webinar about?

A primary focus of Dr. Jonathan P. Fadok's research is aimed at understanding how animals rapidly switch between different defensive states, such as freezing and fleeing. Recently, his team identified a novel brain pathway from the dorsal peduncular cortex to the amygdala that plays a key role in promoting flight behavior when threatened. This research offers new insights into how top-down control from the cortex can regulate survival behaviors and may help inform treatments for anxiety and trauma-related disorders.

Creative Biolabs has invited Dr. Jonathan P. Fadok to walk us through neural circuits of survival: how the brain orchestrates defensive behavior.

Key webinar highlights:

Overview of innate and learned defensive responses: freezing, flight, and their neural underpinnings
Introduction to the conditioned flight model and behavioral state transitions
Central amygdala microcircuits and their role in defensive action selection
Discovery of a top-down cortico-amygdala pathway from the dorsal peduncular cortex
Functional relevance of downstream targets: PAG and RRF contributions to threat modulation
Broader implications for understanding emotional regulation and trauma-related disorders

Discover the speaker:

Jonathan P. Fadok, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Psychology at Tulane University
Faculty Member of the Tulane Brain Institute
Research Neuroscientist at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health
Dr. Jonathan P. Fadok earned his doctorate in Neurobiology and Behavior from the University of Washington and completed his postdoctoral training at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Switzerland. Dr. Fadok leads several federally funded projects, including grants from the NIH and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and has received multiple honors for his work, including the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation's Young Investigator Award and Tulane's Early Career Professor Award.
