Jorge Mauricio Cuartas Arias

​Mi principal interés de investigación se basa en el campo de la neurociencia social y cognitiva y la evolución del comportamiento humano.
Adicionalmente, mi trabajo se ha centrado en la investigación de la posible participación de marcadores genéticos y cognitivos en la personalidad y la psicopatología, la conducta suicida y la ciencia cognitiva y los endofenotipos, además, estoy interesado en el comportamiento impulsivo del consumidor y el concepto de felicidad desde la neurociencia.
