Laboratory for Affective and Translational Neuroscience

Using a multi-modal approach spanning different levels of analyses (e.g., environment, genes, brain, behavior), lab members are working towards a better understanding of the causes, consequences, and pathophysiology of depression. One of lab’s main goals is to improve our understanding of functional, structural, and neurochemical brain abnormalities in depression. This information will be critical for developing better treatments, identifying individuals at increased risk for depression, and uncovering markers that could be used to guide treatment selection.
