Announcing our translational psychiatry workgroup, called NeuroPRSMH (Neuroscience Plasticity Research in Support of Mental Health), bringing together faculty collaborating on questions of neuropasticity, computational psychiatry, and the neuroscience of innovative treatment approaches for psychiatric illness.  The new website (neuroprsmh.umn.edu) is now live!   And we are now funded by a new P50 (MH119569)!


The talk ADR gave at the IPAM / UCLA Computational Psychiatry Workshop (full schedule with talks here) is now available online: Cross-species translation through computational analyses - implications for understanding and modifying psychiatric treatments.


Congratulations to newly minted Lab PhD (now Dr.) Brendan Hasz who defended his thesis Model-free and Model-based Influence on Choice in Rodents and Interactions between Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex during Deliberation on Friday 10 Jan 2020!
