My primary research interest lies in better understanding the neurobiological basis of safety signal processing, which is implicated in several anxiety-related neuropsychiatric disorders. The scope of this research includes: investigations of the various brain structures thought to be involved in these processes, the developmental progression of these abilities, and more recently collaborations with Drs. Mark Wilson, and Mar Sanchez, and others, investigating the role of diet and socioemotional factors contributing to emotion regulation.
