Dr. Tadayon-Nejad is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA and Visiting Associate faculty in Neuroscience at California Institute of Technology.
His clinical focus is on treatment of refractory depression, OCD and comorbid OCD-Depression by using multimodal treatment options of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), advanced pharmacology and Exposure and Response Prevention therapy.
In collaboration with decision neuroscientists at Caltech, Dr. Tadayon-Nejad research explores the neurobehavioral and circuit mechanisms of abnormal decision-making in psychiatric disorders, particularly OCD, by using methods and concepts from computational neuroscience, neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI, EEG) and noninvasive neurostimulation (tDCS, TMS). His research is funded by NIMH and Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD).
