Connecting addiction neuroscience with decision-making and social behavior


Our research focuses on understanding the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms guiding substance use disorders and motivated behavior.

We are also interested in social behavior and its role in neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as improving the translational utility of animal models.

We employ an integrative approach using a variety of techniques from behavior to in vivo electrophysiology to molecular biology.
