Research Interests: Brain systems and structures underlying memory, emotional processing, and stress 


My research uses functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural correlates of emotional modulation of memory. In particular I am interested in understanding how emotion and stress can result in both impairments and enhancements of memory.  I am also interested in how emotion and stress affect different stages of memory including: encoding, consolidation, retrieval, and re-consolidation.
