Our Research at a Glance
We are interested in elucidating the underlying mechanisms of behaviour: How are behavioural patterns generated? What are the risk factors for psychiatric illness? How does neurogenesis contribute to complex behaviours?
Development
How do maternal diet and the microbiome influence fetal brain development and offspring behaviour?
Adulthood
How do stress and diet affect the brain and behaviour?
Stem cells
How does neurogenesis affect learning & memory, mood and decision making?
