Biobehavioral Psychology

BIO

My research investigates the basic mechanisms of learning, memory, and behavior, by combining associative learning theory with several approaches to manipulate and monitor neural activity in rodents (e.g., designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs, neural recordings). I believe that basic research on these fundamental processes will ultimately inform our understanding and treatment of human pathologies such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
