    Collapse overview
    My lab studies how drugs, primarily nicotine, affect mood, behavior, and neural function. I use behavioral tasks, smart phone apps, and functional magnetic resonance imaging to study these interactions. In particular, I am investigating how individual differences in daily stress levels and distress tolerance can help or hurt a smoking quit attempt. Other projects include the acute and chronic effects of drugs on reward-based decision making. I am interested in understanding how drugs that affect dopamine signaling influence effort-based decisions, and how this may relate to psychiatric symptoms.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
