Description:	Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Dr. Tye is the Wylie Vale Professor in the Systems Neuroscience Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California. She is interested in understanding how the neural circuits that are important for driving positive and negative motivational valence — such as seeking pleasure or avoiding punishment — are anatomically, genetically, and functionally arranged. Her laboratory studies neural mechanisms that underlie a wide range of behaviors ranging from the learned to the innate, including social, feeding, reward-seeking and anxiety-related behaviors. The lab also has become interested in "social homeostasis," or how our brains establish a preferred set-point for social contact, and how this maintains stability within a social group. The researchers employ optogenetic, electrophysiological, electrochemical, pharmacological, and imaging approaches to probe these circuits during behavior.
