Research Interest
The overarching aim of the Etkin lab is to understand the neural basis of emotional disorders and their treatment, with a particular emphasis on psychotherapy, and to leverage this knowledge to develop novel treatment interventions. Our investigation of psychopathology and treatment is organized around affective neuroscience of emotion regulation. We also use concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation with fMRI to understand and manipulate activity in defined neural circuits in humans.
