The overall objective of the Translational Neuroscience Program (TNP), directed by David A. Lewis, MD, is to understand the neurobiological basis for complex human cognitive and emotional functions, and the manner in which alterations in the brain give rise to the types of disturbances in these functions that characterize psychiatric disorders.
Disorders of particular interest include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, and Alzheimer’s disease with psychosis.
