معرفی
Anna Weinberg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University. Her research focuses on identifying biological pathways underlying disordered emotional experiences, particularly in mood and anxiety disorders. She employs neurophysiological methods like event-related potentials (ERPs) to study neural systems involved in processing errors, emotional stimuli, and rewards, linking these to behavioral outcomes. Key interests include distinguishing neural markers between anxiety and mood disorders, and determining whether these biological correlates represent vulnerability factors or symptoms. Her work has examined the impact of childhood maltreatment, social stress, and the intergenerational transmission of depression risk. She leads the TRAC Lab and collaborates on large-scale projects like the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.
Education details are not explicitly listed in the provided text, but her academic career includes extensive postdoctoral and faculty roles in clinical and developmental neuroscience. Her research has been published in high-impact journals such as Biological Psychiatry, Clinical Psychological Science, and Psychophysiology.
Research interests emphasize translational neurophysiology, with a focus on developmental trajectories of neural systems and their modulation by stress, trauma, and social environments. Recent studies investigate how neural responses to rewards and errors predict symptom progression during stressful events like the pandemic.
No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the text. Her advising and grants involve collaborations on ERP methodologies, risk markers for depression, and adolescent neurodevelopment. She directs the TRAC Lab, which focuses on translational research in affective neuroscience.
