Who is NeuroTaP?

Lead by mentor and PI Dr. Josh Cisler, we are a research team currently composed of two graduate students, two post-baccalaureate research specialists, seven undergraduate research assistants, and two summer interns. Our research focuses on the development and treatment of mental health following trauma, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). NeuroTaP believes that studying the biological and behavioral mechanisms of mental health will improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illnesses that commonly surface after a traumatic experience.

We are currently recruiting for a research study! See our recent posts for more details.

Please check back in soon for more, as we have many additional research opportunities in the works!
