The Cognitive Neuroscience of Affect, Memories, and Stress (CAMS) Lab, based in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University, studies why we remember certain parts of our experiences, how stress and affect influence these memories, and how what we remember guides our behavior.
Our interdisciplinary research integrates the cognitive neuroscience of memory with translational stress neurobiology. We leverage techniques including novel behavioral tasks, neuroendocrine assays, psychophysiology, advanced functional neuroimaging (fMRI), machine learning, computational modeling, clinical populations, and real-world behavioral monitoring to understand these processes in everyday life and neuropsychiatric disorders. We are committed to building an inclusive, thoughtful, rewarding, and intellectually stimulating environment.
We are affiliated with the Yale Stress Center. Our work is supported by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Addiction, the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation, and the Yale Center for the Translational Neuroscience of Alcoholism.
