Research Interests: The central focus of research in my lab is on understanding adaptive
changes in neuronal function ("neural plasticity") associated with psychiatric and neurologic disorders (currently Parkinson's disease, substance abuse and stroke). Understanding this neural plasticity allows us to develop pharmacotherapy targeted toward "reinstating" normal brain function or compensating for aberrant brain signaling.
