Leads The Laboratory of Adaptive and Maladaptive Intelligence (LAMI) which concentrates on discovering the neural-circuit and algorithmic basis of intelligence, cognition, and their breakpoints in psychiatric disease. 

To reach these goals, we work in animal and computer models using a wide range of techniques, emphasizing a broad multidisciplinary approach. Our team hopes to recruit new team members interested in both basic neuroscience and in making an impact on human health and machine intelligence.
