Research
The Translational Research in Affective Disorders (TReAD Lab) studies the behavioral and neurobiological determinants of cost/benefit decision-making in healthy individuals, as well as in patients with mental illness. Research in the lab focuses on understanding the neural circuitry that underlies these decisions and how dysfunction within these circuits may drive motivational deficits in affective disorders, like major depressive disorder. The TReAD Lab has a specific interest in how the stress and the immune system may impact corticostriatal reward circuits in the brain to lead to motivational symptoms and as such may be an important target for the development of novel anti-inflammatory treatment and prevention strategies. Methods used in the lab include computational modeling of behavior, ecological momentary assessment, functional MRI and functional MR spectroscopy, experimental medicine and non-invasive neurostimulation techniques.
