Welcome to the Coley Lab
Pushing boundaries with inventive studies and imaginative ideas
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
The Coley Lab applies spectrum-based approaches to examine condition-specific changes in mental health disorders.
Exploring new frontiers
At The Coley Lab, we are on a mission to explore neural populations, circuits and synaptic properties associated with depressive-like behaviors.
Our Mission
*Video shows neuronal populations firing
At the Coley Lab, we envision our research contributing towards a future where granularity in mental health well-being is paramount. By closely tracking behavioral patterns alongside neural activity over time, we can uncover subtle yet significant changes. This approach allows us to fine-tune treatments and potentially offer preemptive measures for individuals predisposed to mood disorders
Our Vision
At the Coley Lab, our unwavering commitment is fueled by the imperative to understand the complexities of mental health disorders. Our research strives to reduce misdiagnosis and inequitable treatments, while developing solutions for populations traditionally deemed treatment-resistant.
Our Why
