This Pill Can Cure Your Loneliness - Dr. Moriel Zelikowsky, University of Utah

Dr. Moriel Zelikowsky is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Utah. Though she started off wanting to study film as an undergraduate, she loved thinking about big questions about human cognition and soon gravitated toward a major in philosophy. After graduating with her B.A., she did her Ph.D. in psychology with the idea that experimental psychology might allow her to address these big philosophical questions in a more concrete way. Along the way, Moriel’s interests have developed into a passion for studying neural circuitry; her thesis and postdoctoral work focused on the interplay between several brain regions and fear-based learning and behavior. Today in her own lab, she has built upon her work as a trainee and incorporated work on trauma-induced fear and aggression specifically in the context of social isolation. In Moriel’s interview with Nancy, she talks about the type of lab community she hopes to foster as a new PI, the importance of balancing lab work with physical and emotional health, and how she creates balance in her own life as a mother and an avid rock-climber.

Neuroscientist Moriel Zelikowsky studies the neural mechanisms underlying stress, fear, and social behavior. On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, she discusses her own research into how extreme social isolation affects mice and humans. She talks about what drew her to the science of emotions, why fear is adaptive, and presents some surprising reasons to question the general advice that PTSD sufferers should join support groups.

SHOW NOTES:   Moriel discusses what drew her to the science of emotions [0:35] Moriel right now is working on social isolation and how it affects the brain [3:39] Violence happens often after social isolation in mice [6:33] Fear becomes much more persistent after isolation [7:57] Social isolation hijacks systems that normally produce positive results [12:01] For mice, two weeks of social isolation is long enough to cause severe consequences [14:46] To what degree does social media mitigate or exacerbate social isolation? [16:08] Moriel discusses the most recent research on fear and where it’s located in the brain [18:18] Moriel explains why fear is adaptive and helpful [20:25] Moriel details how general anxiety disorder builds on itself [24:05] The most common therapy for PTSD is some form of exposure therapy [26:15] Moriel describes an experiment on PTSD with truly surprising results [28:27]   QUOTES:   “Everywhere you look, you can see that fear would be adaptive.” [21:16]   FOLLOW:   WEBSITE: https://bit.ly/33AWzYT  LAB WEBSITE: zelikowskylab.com  INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/morielz TWITTER: twitter.com/moriel_z  Learn more about your ad choices.
