Research
The Translational Research in Affective Disorders Laboratory (TReAD Lab) seeks to understand the molecular and circuit-level mechanisms for psychiatric symptoms related to mood, motivation, and anxiety. Our lab employs a variety of methods, including multimodal neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, MRS, and PET), behavioral paradigms, computational modeling, experimental pharmacology, genetics, and clinical/personality assessment. A particular interest has been the assessment of reward motivation in psychiatric populations, for which Dr. Treadway has developed several laboratory tasks, including the Effort-Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT).
