Research Interests
The Citri lab is a systems neuroscience lab, in which projects are currently developing within two distinct streams:
1. Deciphering the organization, physiology and functions of the claustrum, a mysterious brain region implicated in cognitive control of processes such as attention and impulse control, relevant to addiction and other disorders.
2. Defining the role of molecular and cellular circuits in the striatum in the development of stereotypic behaviors, relevant to consumption of drugs of abuse and neurological disorders
