Dr. Uban received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Uban’s research utilizes multi-modal neuroimaging and salivary biosciences to non-invasively examine brain-hormone relationships in children and adolescents. Specifically, her research focuses on the impact of prenatal exposure to alcohol on neurobiological propensity for cognitive and mental health problems in [...]

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. [...]
