Dr Rudebeck is a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry. Dysfunction within the prefrontal cortex and interconnected circuits is implicated in nearly every psychiatric disorder. Figuring out how these parts of the brain contribute to cognition and emotion in health and disease is therefore foundational for developing new treatments. Consequently, work in the Rudebeck lab is focused on determining the functions of the prefrontal cortex and limbic system in both health and disease. To do this his group takes a multidisciplinary approach combining behavioral, imaging, electrophysiology, microstimulation, molecular, and anatomical methods.

Dr Rudebeck received his B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Nottingham, and an M.Sc. in Neuroscience and D.Phil. in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford. He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Mental Health before starting as a faculty member at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2014.
