At the Cells and Behavior Laboratory, our mission is to fundamentally revolutionize our understanding of how the brain governs cognitive and emotional processes. We believe that unraveling the sheer complexity of the brain, in both males and females, requires diving deep into the intricate circuits and cell-type-specific mechanisms that dictate our behavior in both health and disease.

We are driven by the urgent need to address complex neurological challenges. By investigating the pathophysiology of the endocannabinoid system, specifically the CB1 receptor, we strive to decode the foundations of memory. Our ultimate goal is to translate these fundamental genetic and behavioral discoveries into innovative therapeutic approaches to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
