RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Research Focus

The goal of my laboratory is to understand how neural circuits learn to produce responses to environmental cues that increase the fitness of the animal, and how disruption of this process contributes to cognitive disease.  My scientific interests and contributions address this multifaceted problem, which include the neural mechanisms of sensory integration of memory, generation of internal models of future reward, neural systems underlying reinforcement learning, perception of time and its neural form, and the calculation of subjective value in decision making.  We combine computational and theoretical neuroscience and a variety of experimental techniques (behavioral electrophysiology, imaging, targeted-pharmacology, optogenetics).
