Trained in cognitive psychology and systems neuroscience, Randy’s work integrates neuroimaging techniques to explore neural circuits, individual differences in brain organization, and the evolution of brain function. His lab investigates topics such as:
- Neuroplasticity in clinical populations
- Functional network modulation in depression
- Evolutionary changes in brain circuits between humans and non-human primates
- Identification of MRI biomarkers for early-stage Alzheimer’s disease
- Personalized treatment approaches for neurological and psychiatric disorders
