Computational neuroscience - the connection between the physical mechanisms present in real neural tissue and the computational functions that these mechanisms embody. Work in the Montague group also extends into several experimental areas including synaptic physiology, human neuroimaging, and human behavior.

How sensory experience and behavior are modulated by affective state and disorder; The systems and cellular neuroscience of the emotional component of pain and the reciprocal relationship between pain and affective states. We combine electrophysiology and pharmacology in vivo and in vitro and behavioral approaches to analyze the role of the amygdala in persistent pain and to determine the underlying synaptic and cellular mechanisms.

Signal transduction; signaling networks; computational modeling; tartgeted molecular therapeutics; proteomics; cancer biology. We are addressing this issue in breast cancer cells using the EGFR/ErbB2 signaling network as our in silico and in vitro model system. Single nucelotide polymorphisms in MC1R receptor is a high risk factor for the development of melanoma. We are studying the possible mechanism underlying this observation.

Modulation of synaptic transmission; The research interests in our lab are twofold: to understand the biophysics of central mammalian neurons that control both the communication between cells and their individual computational properties, and to develop advanced optical imaging tools for studying living brain tissue that help us to achieve this goal.
