Discovering how complex signals encode behavior
Research conducted in the Neural Circuits, Systems, & Behavior Lab, headed by Dr. Lindsay Halladay, is focused on understanding the physiological processes by which neural activity produces behavior, and more specifically, how dysfunctional circuitry leads to aberrant behavior. NCSB's objective is to better understand how reward and aversion circuits converge and interact. We use an array of state-of-the-art technolgies, robust behavioral models, and careful mentoring to achieve our goals.
Research Interests
We use a multiplexed approach to understand how neural dynamics produce behavior with a focus on aversive learning, social behavior, and long-term effects of exposure to early life stress
