Areas of Research
My research investigates the brain circuits involved in social and affective behaviors. Current research is focused on the neural circuitry that governs the serotonergic and hypocretin systems, which are involved in stress response and emotional processing. Using a combination of patch clamp electrophysiology, fiber photometry and optogenetics, my lab examines and manipulates the activity of these systems and their circuits during behavior. We are also studying the impact of stress during development and adulthood on the maturation and function of brain networks.
