Title: Grandmothers and human evolution

Abstract:
The Grandmother Hypothesis may explain why senescence slowed in our
lineage but female fertility still ends at about the same age in humans
and great apes. Possible consequences of grandmothering range from
socially precocious infants and distinctive human sociality to patterns of
male competition and pair bonding. Tests of hypotheses about HOW we age
more slowly are uncovering unexpected differences between humans and
chimpanzees.

Abstract

Animal models of associative threat learning provide a basis for understanding human fears and anxiety. Building on research from animal models, I will explore a range of means maladaptive defensive responses can be acquired and diminished in humans. First, I will outline how extinction and emotion regulation, techniques adapted in cognitive behavioral therapy, can be used to control learned defensive responses via inhibitory signals from the ventromedial prefrontal cortex to the amygdala. One drawback of these techniques is that these responses are only inhibited and can return, with one factor being stress. I will then review research examining the lasting control of maladaptive defensive responses by targeting memory reconsolidation and present evidence suggesting that the behavioral interference of reconsolidation in humans diminishes involvement of the prefrontal cortex inhibitory circuitry, although there are limitations to its efficacy. Finally, I will describe two novel behavioral techniques that might result in a more lasting fear reduction by providing control over the stressor and introducing novelty.
