Our mission:
To uncover the neural mechanisms that promote maladaptive behaviors characteristic of psychiatric disorders
Investigating individual differences in motivated behavior
We are a behavioral neuroscience lab at the University of Michigan. We are specifically interested in the psychological processes that determine how individuals respond to and interact with their surrounding environment, and the neural circuitry underlying these processes. Our goal is to identify the neural mechanisms that may render an individual vulnerable to psychiatric conditions, such as substance use disorder. In doing so, we hope to improve treatment options and outcomes for individuals suffering from psychiatric disorders.
