Larry Zweifel is a Professor specializing in research aimed at understanding the genetic regulation of neural circuits and motivated behavior. His work focuses on the genetic mutations associated with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders that impact brain circuit function. His research utilizes a combination of electrophysiology, neural imaging, and gene mutagenesis to investigate how genetic regulation of neurotransmitter systems in the brain influences basic neural processing and behavior. Through his efforts, Zweifel aims to resolve the complexities underlying the modulatory systems of the brain, particularly in relation to dopamine, serotonin, and neuropeptides, which govern motivated behavior. Zweifel is affiliated with multiple programs and centers that enhance his research capabilities and facilitate collaborative opportunities.
