SUMMARY:Rutgers Women’s Brain Health Initiative (RWBHI) Plenary Seminar (Virtual): Jennifer S. Stevens\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Neuroendocrine contributors to traumatic stress: Understanding women’s risk”\nPlenary Seminar: Jennifer S. Stevens\, PhD\nCo-Director\, The Grady Trauma Project\nAssociate Professor\, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\nEmory University School of Medicine\nInvestigator\, Center for Visual and Neurocognitive Rehabilitation\nAtlanta VA Health Care System \nDate and Time: Tuesday\, September 29\, 2026\, 12:00 PM (EST) \nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94401127117?pwd=EEkh3qdxGpKIFzpefpYdstiLR3y8St.1\nMeeting ID: 944 0112 7117  | Passcode: 092926 \nDr. Stevens’ earlier work from the Grady Trauma Project identified a polymorphism in the PACAP receptor gene that contributes to risk for PTSD among women but not men. Further developments in this line of research provide one of the best-studied biological explanations for the gender disparity in PTSD diagnosis. The lab recently observed that childhood trauma predicts decreased behavioral-inhibition-related mPFC and hippocampal function in women with PTSD but does not impact function in resilient women who experienced trauma but do not have PTSD. The newest studies in the lab address 1) associations between menstrual cycle hormones and brain-based signatures of stress vulnerability in young women\, 2) longitudinal changes in neural structure and function over perimenopause\, and 3) maternal responses to infant cues in the early postpartum window. Additional seminar details will be available soon. Learn more \nLearn more about the Rutgers Women’s Brain Health Initiative \nLearn more about the BHI Plenary Seminar Series
