S2E05: The Neuroscience of Fear, Memory, and Emotional Flexibility with Dr. Daniela Schiller

Join me as I sit down with Dr. Daniela Schiller, Professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a recipient of the Blavatnik Award, Klingenstein-Simons and Kavli Fellowships, and a Fulbright Scholar. We explore how the brain encodes and modifies emotional experiences like fear and trauma, what emotional flexibility means for mental health, and how emotional memories can be updated without drugs. Dr. Schiller also discusses how the brain navigates social relationships and the path from laboratory findings to real-world therapies.
