Creating a Developmental Clinical Neuroscience: Lessons from Pediatric Anxiety

Daniel S. Pine, MD
Chief, Section on Development and Affective Neuroscience National Institute of Mental Health

Daniel Pine is one of the world’s leading experts on emotional disorders in youth. This expertise is reflected in more than 300 peer-reviewed papers—including major contributions to understanding the epidemiology, diagnosis, biology, and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders in children and adolescents. His lab is engaged in a series of pioneering studies addressing questions about the neural systems involved in fear and threat processes in ways that are relevant to the risk, development, and treatment of anxiety disorders. Among his many honors he was recently elected to the prestigious Institute of Medicine in the National Academy of Sciences. In his talk at IHD (noon on December 2) Pine will address a series of issues about the emerging field of developmental clinical neuroscience, using his work on pediatric anxiety disorders as an example.
