Dr. Steinmetz's research interests include the study of the neural substrates of simple learning and memory such as the brain systems
involved in classical conditioning and signalled instrumental conditioning. His current research involves many levels of analyses
including studies of (1) cellular, synaptic, and network neural processes involved in acquisition and performance of simple learning,
(2) similarities and differences in brain structures and systems involved in appetitive and aversive learning, (3) influences of emotion
of brain activity associated with learning, and (4) behavioral and neural correlates of simple learning and memory in humans. He is also
interested in the development and use of computational and network models inspired and constrained by known neural systems involved
in behavioral and psychological functions.
