Welcome to the Center of Neuroscience, Neuroendocrinology, & Clinical Translation (CoNNeCTLab) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. Our lab studies the neurobiological mechanisms underlying social and emotional information processing in anxiety and obsessive compulsive related disorders to improve their prevention, assessment, and treatment. We employ techniques across clinical psychological science, social psychology, and cognitive and affective neuroscience disciplines, including fMRI, neuroendocrine assays, pharmacology, as well as behavioral and self-report assessments. Our primary goal is to connect the basic science of social cognition and emotion to clinical models of psychological disorders, in order to ultimately improve real-world clinical practice.
