Advising

David Zald

Professor of Psychology
Associate Professor of Psychiatry

David Zald uses functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological techniques to examine and map the cognitive, affective and sensory functions of the orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala and the mesolimbic dopamine system. This work particularly focuses on understanding the manner in which individual differences in the functioning of these systems contributes to personality and risk for psychopathology. A third area of interest examines the interaction of emotion and attention, and the manner in which this relationship is altered in psychiatric conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance dependence.
