-> The Emory University Mind-Body Program

The Emory University Mind-Body Program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is a central resource for individuals interested in clinical and basic science research on mind-body interactions at Emory University. Visitors are invited to meet Emory investigators who are engaged in mind-body research. Individuals who are interested in participating in specific studies are encouraged to review our ongoing clinical projects.

-> Laboratory of Neuropsychopharmacology

The primary goal of the Laboratory of Neuropsychopharmacology is to understand the molecular basis of complex psychiatric diseases including depression, anxiety disorders and schizophrenia with a particular focus on neuropeptides. To address these issues, we use a variety of behavioral, pharmacological and molecular techniques.

-> Laboratory of Personality and Psychopathology

The Laboratory of Personality and Psychopathology at Emory University is devoted to exploring links between personality, psychological disorders, and treatment.

-> Emory Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit (ECNRU)

We are a research group funded by the National Institute of Health, Veterans Administration, and private donations, foundations, and industry. We perform research on the brain and neurobiological correlates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, anxiety disorders and dissociation. Our mission is to understand how stress affects the brain and leads to mental disorders, and ways to translate this knowledge into new treatments.

-> Molecular Neurobiology of Fear Lab

The Ressler lab at Yerkes National Primate Research Center is focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fear learning and the process of extinction of fear in mouse models. The primary objective of the work in the Ressler lab is to utilize the power of molecular genetics to understand the molecular biology, the neural circuitry, and the behavioral biology of fear and extinction of fear in mouse models.

-> Emory Center For Position Emission Tomography: HRRT

Emory continues its rapid development in research with the performance of the first complete research O15 water study in human subjects using a High Resolution Research Tomograph (HRRT).
