Purpose

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

Our progress builds from a symbiosis of psychological theory and neuroscience methods.

Goals

• Illuminating the anatomical and chemical trajectory of affective circuits.

• Innovating methods for tracking and improving affect dynamics.

• Predicting how interventions can normalize deranged affective circuits.

• Understanding how affective circuits influence decision-making.
