Learning, Behavior, and Affective Neurodevelopment

Mission: Utilize a multi-level approach to neuroscience, setting a solid foundation in learning theory and behavioral assays upon which to apply ever-advancing neuroscience techniques to address a critical gap in knowledge regarding the intersection between neural and affective regulation. Research is conducted with an eye for translation, striving to inform the causes and consequences of psychiatric illness, particularly that caused by deviations in brain development, leading to new avenues for treatment. We support diversity, equity, and inclusion on our research team and more broadly in STEM.
