The Social Function Lab at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center has a postdoctoral fellowship position open for a researcher specializing in brain imaging analyses. Directed by Dr. Kate Rankin, the Social Function Lab is an NIH-funded research program that studies the neural correlates of behavior, socioemotional processing, and social interactions, both in patients with neurodegenerative disease and healthy aging individuals.

Dr. Gianina Toller has just returned from the Organization of Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) conference in Singapore and presented her poster, "The role of the right uncinate fasciculus for socioemotional sensitivity in health and disease." Congratulations, Dr. Toller!

The Rankin Lab would like to welcome back our 2017 Visiting Scholar, Myrthe Rijpma, as our new Assistant Specialist! We're glad to have you back, Myrthe!

Fantastic time at 2018 Society for Affective Science! Exciting work was presented by Suzie Shdo with her poster: "Interaction of Neural Networks Underlying Heightened Threat Vigilance Using a Neurodegenerative Disease Lesion Model" and Dr. Rankin's methods lunch: "Lesion Models of Emotion".
