My research interest is focused on the modulatory actions of dopamine receptors on memory processes in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus. I have generated brain region specific knockouts of dopamine receptors, and I am investigating the effect that emotional states, such as stress and fear, have on these mice in several memory related behavioral tasks.
