K. Luan Phan's research uses brain imaging (functional MRI) to study anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders, with a focus on brain regions involved in emotion regulation and cognitive control, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and prefrontal cortex. A major theme is identifying brain-based markers that can predict or explain how people respond to treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, aiming to improve mental health treatment selection across different diagnoses.
