Research Interests
Research is focused on the neurobiological effects of stressful and adverse experiences. Her goal is to understand the mechanisms of stress-induced changes in synapses and circuits. They are particularly interested in synaptic regulation of neurons that produce monoamines-neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin that are important modulators of affective and reward-related behavior.
