The Filbey Lab

The Neuroimaging of Reward Dynamics Lab (NiRD Lab) in Dallas, Texas, focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms associated with the dysfunction of the dopaminergic-reward system, particularly in relation to substance use. Utilizing a diverse array of techniques including neuroimaging, cognitive testing, and genetic analysis, the lab conducts in-depth studies involving a well-characterized cohort of individuals across different populations and ages.

Current research initiatives at NiRD Lab explore various topics such as the neurobiological impacts of cannabis use for pain, the effects of group motivational interviewing on underage drinking behaviors, and the distinctions between recreational and medicinal cannabis use. With several established collaborations both domestically and internationally, NiRD Lab plays a significant role in advancing the understanding of addiction and reward systems.
