As director of the Laboratory for Computational Neuroscience, Dr. Siekmeier’s research centers on the computational modeling of the hippocampus, an area of brain thought to be responsible for encoding memories, and one that has been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia. The goals of this research are twofold: to better understand how cellular and molecular level abnormalities in the hippocampus give rise to behavioral symptomatology, and to use this information to help arrive at more effective pharmacologic treatments. In addition, Dr. Siekmeier is an attending psychiatrist in the Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Inpatient Program. He has an outpatient practice specializing in medication evaluation and management. Dr. Siekmeier is the former web editor of JAMA Psychiatry.
