Principal Investigator (PI):
Jeremy Hogeveen, PhD: Jeremy's research focuses on understanding the neural circuits involved in emotional awareness, motivated decision-making, and cognitive control. He studies both healthy individuals and those with various forms of acquired and spontaneous psychopathology to understand how these processes can differ among people and across development.
When he's not immersed in research, Jeremy enjoys playing hockey, running, collecting/listening to vinyl, and passionately supporting the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chelsea Football Club. He has a penchant for eating overly spicy food for no good reason, and loves spending time with his wife, their two young kids, and two senior dogs.
Postdoctoral Scientists:
Rohit Yadav, PhD: Rohit earned his PhD at the Institute of Neuroscience, La Timone, France, where his work was focused on characterizing cortical folding patterns using machine learning based techniques. His current research integrates brain imaging and computational modeling to investigate decision-making and cognition. In the long term, his work is driven by a central interest in uncovering thought patterns underlying mental disorders through neuroimaging and data-driven methods.
Outside the lab, Rohit loves experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, watching movies, and capturing the beauty of landscapes through his camera lens.
Graduate Students:
Cidney Benta: Cidney graduated from the University of New Mexico with a B.S. in Psychology and Biology. Since then she has been working as a research assistant and coordinator in Dr. Mayer’s lab, where they studied the effects of traumatic brain injury on different populations. Cidney’s research interests include investigating the developmental trajectory of healthy adolescents, as well as those who experience traumatic brain injury or other pathology during development. She is also interested in examining the potential therapeutic and/or deleterious effects of medical cannabis for the use of chronic neurological and psychological disorders, as well as the development of standardized practices for the study of cannabis. She spends her free time trying new restaurants, camping, and spending time with her dogs.
Caty Enders: Caty Enders joins the Hogeveen Lab after years as a science journalist. She earned her B.A. from Northwestern University and held a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT. Her research is focused on the neuropsychological effects of social media and spans the neuroscience of decision-making, addiction, isolation, attention and false beliefs. She is personally fascinated by the history of psychopharmacology.
Research Assistants:
Lauren Brown: Lauren began assisting in the CANoPy Lab in Fall 2022 while working on her honors thesis in the University of New Mexico Psychology Honors Program. She graduated with a B.S. in Psychology in Spring 2024 and has since been working as a post-baccalaureate research assistant, primarily involved in running the TREE and LEAD studies. She is interested in understanding the mechanisms that underlie mood and anxiety-related disorders and aims to obtain a PhD in Clinical Psychology to translate those insights into improved treatments.
Outside the lab, Lauren loves cross-country running, reading, thrifting, and watching horror movies.
Adrianna Hernandez: Adrianna is an undergraduate research assistant who will graduate in Fall 2025 with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Biology. She joined the lab in January 2025 and assists with data collection for the LEAD study. Her academic interests center on integrating psychological and biological perspectives to better understand decision making as they relate to mental processes and emotions. Adrianna plans to continue working in the lab as a post-baccalaureate to further define her path in research. Outside of the lab, she enjoys exercising, exploring new restaurants, and spending quality time with her family and dog.
Cinthia Mendoza: Cinthia graduated from the University of New Mexico with a B.S. in Psychology and Statistics and is currently working as a research assistant on the LEAD study. Her research interests include improving treatment efficacy for underrepresented groups and investigating the role of parent-adolescent agreement on psychopathology symptoms. Outside of the lab, Cinthia enjoys journaling, reading, and creating nail art.
