This seminar course examines the fundamental cognitive, motivational, and affective processes that underlie parenting behavior. Primary emphasis will be placed on (i) understanding how endocrine, sensory and experiential information is integrated within the relevant neural circuitry that yields this complex behavior under healthy conditions, and (ii) how neuropsychological dysfunction, as with maternal mental disorders, leads to disturbances in parenting and in the mother-infant relationship.
