Personal profile
Research interests
The focus of my research is the impact of genetic and environmental liabilities for intellectual and developmental disorders (IDD) on neural circuit function. My research projects are targeted at understanding how IDD genetic likelihood disrupts behavior with a focus on developmental trajectories, social motivation, sensory and motor function, and the roles in these functions of the serotonin, oxytocin and opioid systems.
