DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES
Emotion and Memory Systems Laboratory
Exploring the brain circuits underlying fear, memory and relapse.
STEPHEN MAREN, PhD • UNIVERSITY DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR
Anxiety, stress, and trauma disorders affect nearly a third of the population. We seek to understand the brain circuits underlying emotional memory, particularly circuits that inhibit pathological fear.
Science
We use cutting-edge techniques including chemogenetics, electrophysiology, and calcium imaging in awake, behaving animals.
People
We are a diverse team of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers.
Place
We are located at the heart of the Texas A&M University campus, which is home to over 60,000 students in Bryan/College Station.
We are on an exciting journey to understand the mysteries of the brain — how we learn, remember, feel, and behave. Ultimately, our mission is to uncover the biological essence of who we are.
About Us
A diverse research team exploring the neurobiology of emotional learning and memory.
