Wisconsin's Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience

The Wisconsin Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience is a research center that studies how emotions influence the brain and behavior. Using advanced imaging and testing techniques, researchers explore how different emotional states, like happiness or anxiety, are processed and regulated in the brain. Their goal is to better understand emotional health and develop more effective treatments for mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders. The lab combines neuroscience, psychology, and technology to uncover the biological roots of feelings, ultimately aiming to improve mental well-being and resilience.
