Latest Humans of Neuroscience Interviews
Dr. Adhikari joined the University of California Los Angeles Psychology Department in 2016, following postdoctoral training at Stanford University with Prof. Karl Deisseroth and Ph.D. studies at Columbia University with Prof. Joshua A. Gordon and Prof. Rene Hen.
Dr. Adhikari’s lab investigates how the brain coordinates the constellation of changes related to emotional behaviors, with a focus on fear and anxiety. These multi-faceted changes involve complex and dynamic adaptations in hormonal, physiological and behavioral realms. Dr. Adhikari dissects how interactions between different brain structures control these processes, seeking insights that shed light on the neural basis of pathological anxiety disorders and adaptive aversion to danger.
Srija Pamujula graduated from the University of California San Diego with a Bachelor of Science in Neurobiology. She is interested in many areas of neuroscience, including epileptogenesis, and works as a Staff Research Associate in the Rho Lab at the UCSD School of Medicine. She intends to pursue a career in medicine. In her free time, Srija loves to paint, cook and dance.
