Welcome to the Clinical Neuroscience of Anxiety and Depression (CAD) Lab!
The CAD lab, directed by Dr. Juyoen Hur, studies the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that confer risk for the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders and depression. Specifically, our work focuses on alterations in negative affect (both state and trait), cognition (e.g., attention, cognitive control), and their interactions as key pathways to these conditions. We use an experimental psychopathology approach and a broad spectrum of tools, including fMRI, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA), behavioral assays, and advanced statistical approaches (MLM/SEM). This work promises to address fundamental questions about the interplay of emotion and cognition in and to identify novel treatment targets for anxiety disorders and depression.
