Garima Chauhan

Dr. Garima Chauhan holds a Ph.D. in Life Sciences with a specialization in Neurophysiology. She has previously worked on how stress affects the brain's neurogenic capabilities and associated neurobehaviors. She aimed to comprehend the molecular underpinnings of stress in the brain by studying various stress models such as hypobaric hypoxia and sleep deprivation. In continuation of her doctoral work here in the Decision lab, she is attempting to understand the effect of stress on reward-based decision-making and its molecular correlates. She is a proud mother who enjoys spending her free time practicing yoga, baking, and traveling.
