Interests

My research focuses on the neurobiology of drug addiction and reward. I am particularly interested in understanding how individuals attribute salience to cues associated with reward, and how that can lead to compulsive drug seeking and use.

I am also interested in the evolution of the nervous system, complex behavior (social cognition, language, etc), and neurodegenerative disease.

Projects

Autoshaping, IEG expression, psychomotor sensitization, cocaine self administration
