Jamie Terner

I am a PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program minoring in Neuropsychology. Prior to joining, I worked as a research assistant at the University of Southern California’s Imaging Genetics Center in the Braskie Lab, where I utilized multimodal neuroimaging to better understand the genetic and environmental risk factors, and underlying biological mechanisms, of Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, my research employs similar methods to better understand how fear is represented in the brain, and to identify key risk and resilience mechanisms underlying PTSD.

Research Interests:

• Employing a multimodal methodology that leverages neuroimaging techniques, neuropsychological testing, and socioenviornmental contexts 
• Better understand and identify risk and resilience factors to psychopathology and their underlying neural mechanisms.
