Research Interests

  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Neurosciences
  • Basal Ganglia
  • Basal Ganglia Diseases
  • Panic Disorder
  • Traumatic Brain Injury

Research Statement

My research focus is on the basal ganglia brain circuitry. I utilize functional and structural MRI to enhance our understanding of these circuits in normal individuals as well the role of these pathways in the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric disorders.
