Laboratory for Translational Neurobehavioral Science (LTNS)

Core theme: Decoding the molecular and circuit-level mechanisms of stress, fear, and addiction to understand and optimize real-world human decision-making

Our laboratory operates at the intersection of molecular neuroscience and real-world behavior. We investigate how stress, fear, and addiction alter the brain’s reward and decision-making circuits. By leveraging translational neuropsychiatry and advanced neuromarketing methodologies, we aim to bridge the gap between bench-side discoveries and bedside applications, ultimately developing innovative interventions for psychiatric disorders and promoting healthier, more resilient decision-making in everyday life.
