Wen Li, a researcher at FSU, helms the Cognitive Affective Neuroscience Lab, which conducts a variety of research on clinical psychology and neuroscience. Li and her students are investigating the causes of Alzheimer’s disease, post- traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and depression.

“By integrating research on different levels spanning basic principles by which the brain operates, different large-scale networks, and psychological processes and behavior, we are translating basic science in the lab to treatment at the clinic,” Li said. “By isolating specific neural mechanisms and inventing non-invasive techniques to target these mechanisms, we are developing new treatments for these debilitating and hard-to-treat conditions.”
