Neurobiology of the Continuum of Behavior
Behavioral Neuroscience (BNS), Department of Psychology at Miami University
We aim to understand the neuronal circuits underlying emotional responses, the scalability of defensive responses, and encoding traumatic memory. Our research seeks to uncover how neural circuits encode, regulate, and select an appropriate fear response — insights that could inform treatments for anxiety, panic, PTSD, and other stress-related disorders. Using advanced techniques in neuroscience, we investigate how animals transition from lower to higher defensive states and how resilience to fear is built at the circuit level.
