Research summary

Christopher C. Lapish studies how the brain controls behavior, with a strong focus on alcohol use and decision-making. His work uses tools like electrical recordings of brain cells and fiber photometry (which tracks brain chemicals such as dopamine in living animals) to understand how alcohol changes brain activity and how regions like the prefrontal cortex govern impulsive versus deliberate choices. Much of the research is conducted in rodents and monkeys.
