I am generally interested in the cellular substrates of drug addiction with a focus on the molecular underpinnings of relapse vulnerability. To date, studies in my laboratory have been focused on the corticostriatal pathway, heavily implicated in drug seeking and relapse. One unique aspect of our group is that the studies performed in the [...]

My lab studies the neurobiological principles underlying cognition and decision-making. Using state-of-the-art technologies, we interrogate neural circuits in rodents as they perform a task. We validate our findings with analogous tasks in humans. We hope to define the neural circuits underlying decisions that will inform the development of new therapies for psychiatric diseases. [...]

McGaugh and the family trust of the late Dr. Ralph W. Gerard. The lectures are free to the public and are intended to encourage public [...]

At this conference, you’ll learn about important findings from past trials, current trials of promising new treatments, and what it’s going to take to find successful treatments for the most urgent health problem we face as a society today.
