Research Interests
Our laboratory aims to advance the understanding of how discrete neurobiological dynamics give rise to both adaptive and maladaptive psychological processes. We use data-driven tools to investigate the intersection between cellular, network, and organismal levels of analysis in behaving rodents. Our research focuses on how different neuromodulatory systems—including dopamine, endocannabinoids, and oxytocin—support motivated behavior and learning, with a particular interest on substance use disorders.
