My research focuses on the neurobiology of stress, arousal and cognitive enhancers used in the treatment of ADHD. We take a multidisciplinary approach that includes anatomical, neurochemical, behavioral, electrophysiological and computational methods. Much of our current work is focused on understanding the neurotransmitter and circuit mechanisms through which ADHD-related drugs and stress alter higher cognitive function dependent on the prefrontal cortex and extended frontostriatal circuitry.

Currently there are 3 main themes:

• The Neurobiology of ADHD-Related Cognitive Enhancers
• The Neurobiology of Prefrontal Cortex-Dependent Cognition
• Neurobiology of Arousal
