Purpose

Our research investigates neural mechanisms that support emotion, and explores implications for decision-making and mental health.

Our progress ultimately requires a symbiosis of psychological theory and neuroscience methods.

Goals

• Tracing the anatomical and chemical trajectory of affective circuits.

• Predicting how interventions can normalize deranged affective circuits.

• Understanding how affective circuits influence decision-making.

• Innovating methods for tracking and improving affect dynamics.
