EPFL Latsis Symposium 2009: Understanding Violence 14 Sheilagh Hodgins February 11-13 2009 Head of Forensic Mental Health Sciences King’s College London, UK Professor at the Institute of Psychiatry King’s College, University of London UK http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/staff/profile/?go=10161 Sheilagh Hodgins has authored numerous papers, book chapters, and books on antisocial, violent, and criminal behaviours among persons with mental disorders. Her current work aims to identify causal mechanisms leading to early-onset antisocial behaviour that remain stable over the life-span among persons who develop schizophrenia, as well as the factors that maintain these unwanted behaviours. She also works on the development of treatments to reduce violent behaviour.

Buckholtz Scientist at the Neuroscience Vanderbilt Brain Institute Department of Psychology Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN USA http://www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/people/buckholtz Joshua Buckholtz uses functional, structural, and receptor imaging techniques to characterize the influence of genetic risk factors for antisocial behavior and addiction on neural circuitry for affect regulation, motivation, and social cognition. He obtained his bachelor of science degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and then received training in genetics and neuroimaging in the intramural program of the National Institute of Mental Health.

His research at Wisconsin led to his election as Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science “for major contributions to the understanding of social factors that influence the psychological development of nonhuman primates.” Abstract Title: ag g r e s s i o n, s e r o t o n i n , a n D g e n e X e n v i r o n m e n t i n t e r a c t i o n s
EPFL Latsis Symposium 2009: Understanding Violence Speakers, Discussants and Round Table Panelists Francois Ansermet Head Service of psychiatry of children and adolescents Geneva University Hospital Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Geneva Faculty of Medicine http://spea.hug-ge.ch/ Prof. Ansermet’s research has focused on perinatal stress, and, specifically, on risks for and consequences of prematurity. He has also explored the psychological and ethical implications of new advances in perinatal biotechnology, in particular, assisted reproductive therapy, genetic counselling, and gender attribution in cases of ambiguous genitalia. Moreover, Prof. Ansermet is interested in the link between neuroscience and psychoanalysis and the role of neuronal plasticity in the psychoanalytic process. Abstract Title: ne u r o n a l p l a s t i c i t y, h o m e o s t a s i s a n D v i o l e n c e Pierre Magistretti Professor of Neuroscience - Director, Brain Mind Institute, EPFL Director of the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience, University of Lausanne Medical School and Hospital (CHUV) http://bmi.epfl.ch/page61215.html Prof. Magistretti’s laboratory has discovered some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the coupling between neuronal activity and energy consumption by the brain. He is strongly engaged in public understanding of neuroscience and in establishing links betweens neuroscience and psychoanalysis. He has occupied an International Chair 2007-08 of the Collège de France, Paris. He is member of Academia Europea and of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences. He is the Past-President of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and Vice-Chairman of the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB).

Neumann Professor, Head Department of Behavioural and Molecular Neuroendocrinology University of Regensburg, Germany http://www.biologie.uni-regensburg.de/Zoologie/Neumann/index.htm Her main research interest focuses on uncovering molecular, neuronal and neuroendocrine parameters linked to complex social and emotional behaviours, including intermale aggression, depression- and anxiety-related behaviours, social phobia and social cognition as well as maternal care and aggression. Using animal models, she studies interactions between genetic and early environmental events shaping adult stress-related behaviours.
