- The Translational Cognitive and Affective (TCAN) Laboratory studies the neural mechanisms of attention, memory, and cognitive control. We also investigate the pathophysiological processes underlying psychotic illness, with a particular focus on the neural circuitry supporting cognitive, emotional, and social processes. Our research integrates behavioral, computational, and functional neuroimaging (fMRI, PET, EEG) along with neuromodulation using pharmacology and brain stimulation (tDCS). Finally, we explore how perturbations in the immune system and drugs like cannabis impact individuals with psychotic illness. Prospective volunteers should email their CV/resume and a brief statement of interest to tcan@ucdavis.edu.
