‘Using slow-wave disruption to investigate the relationship between neuroplasticity and mood in major depression’

Jen Goldschmied will be visiting WSU Spokane for the SPRC Seminar Series. Her seminar entitiled “Using slow-wave disruption to investigate the relationship between neuroplasticity and mood in major depression” will be in person in the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation (SCRS) room 250 and through Zoom on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 11:30 a.m.

Dr. Goldschmied is a licensed clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. She received her doctorate in Clinical Science from the University of Michigan in 2016. Her program of research aims to identify the mechanisms by which sleep modulates mood and to determine the functional importance of slow-wave activity in both mood and cognition, and she was awarded an NIH Career Development Award to study the relationship between sleep slow-wave activity, neuroplasticity and mood in depression in 2019. In addition to her research, Jen also engages in clinical work in behavioral sleep medicine, treating patients with sleep disorders and comorbid psychiatric illness.

We look forward to you joining us in person (SCRS 250) or through Zoom!
