Research Interests

Dr. Larson's laboratory, the Affective Neuroscience Laboratory, is dedicated to understanding the neural bases of healthy and pathological emotional processing.  Currently, her research program is focused primarily on characterizing individual differences in emotional and cognitive processing that confer risk for mental health concerns following trauma in adults and youth. The team also investigates socioenvironmental factors such as neighborhood disadvantage and racial discrimination, and how these factors are related to risk for PTSD and individual differences in neural circuitry for emotion regulation. This work is conducted as part of a multi-institutional research team, the Milwaukee Trauma Outcomes Project (). Dr. Larson also collaborates with Dr. Hanjoo Lee to examine the impact of response inhibition training on neural circuitry supporting response inhibition among individuals with obsessive compulsive related disorders.  The laboratory uses neuroimaging, psychophysiological, behavioral, and self-report tools to examine these questions.
