Problem Space

Reward dysfunction is a core dimension across multiple psychiatric disorders, but it does not map neatly onto standard diagnostic categories. Understanding these patterns requires computational and imaging approaches that can capture clinically meaningful variation.

Approach

This project area brings together functional connectivity, task-based neuroimaging, structural imaging, and dimensional psychopathology to study reward-related dysfunction in ways that can support more precise interpretation of psychiatric illness.

Collaborators

This area aligns with collaborators in neuroimaging, computational psychiatry, behavioral neuroscience, and translational clinical research.

Next Steps

Future public material may include paper summaries, visual explainers, dataset notes, and cross-links to related research updates.
