 Tejeda</strong></h5><p class="is-style-default">Dr. Tejeda completed his Ph
 .D. in Neuroscience at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and at
  the National Institute on Drug Abuse under the mentorship of Drs. Patricio
  O’Donnell and Toni Shippenberg. His thesis work elucidated the role of neu
 romodulatory systems\, including opioid receptors\, in modulating synaptic 
 integration in prefrontal cortical and limbic circuits. He completed a post
 -doctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Antonello Bonci at the Nation
 al Institute Drug Abuse where he elucidated the mechanisms by which monoami
 ne and opioid receptors\, as well as stress modulate information processing
  in the nucleus accumbens. Dr. Tejeda joined the National Institute of Ment
 al Health in 2018 as a Stadtman principal investigator. His research focuse
 s on the role of neuromodulation in processing information in limbic neural
  circuits under physiological conditions and in psychiatric disorders.</p><
 p class="is-style-default">Research in Dr. Tejeda’s laboratory is aimed at 
 elucidating how the brain utilizes neuromodulation in motivational and emot
 ional neural circuits to process information and orchestrate behavior. Anot
 her major focus of the laboratory is to identify plastic changes in neuromo
 dulation and synaptic integration in limbic circuits of animal models of ps
 ychiatric disorders to elucidate novel therapeutic targets and increase our
  understanding of conventional therapies. The laboratory employs an inter- 
 disciplinary approach including electrophysiological\, in-vivo imaging\, op
 togenetic\, and viral and transgenic techniques to dissect the function of 
 neuromodulators\, such as opioid receptors\, in regulating synaptic integra
 tion in single cells\, microcircuits\, and distributed limbic networks to c
 ontrol motivated behavior.</p><p class="is-style-default">Dr. Tejeda has pu
 blished over 25 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has been invit
 ed to organize\, sit in committees and chair in multiple international meet
 ings and scientific journals. He has received numerous prestigious awards i
 ncluding the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation NARSAD Young Investigat
 or award.</p><p class="is-style-default">Dr. Tejeda has maintained a steady
  funding for his research since 2008 when he was a predoctoral student. His
  support allows his mentees to aim for similar success within their career.
  Dr.Tejeda recently received the NIMH Director’s Outstanding Mentor Award s
 peaking highly of this dedication to mentorship and science advancement.</p
