![PERL logo long][1] We explore how the brain processes emotional information and how this is influenced by brain chemicals and medicines. This helps us to understand disorders such as depression and anxiety and to understand and contribute to the development of drug and psychological treatments. ![PERL ~May 2018][2] The group comprises a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacologists and neuroscientists and aims to explore these questions using human models of cognitive and emotional processing. Our methodologies include psychopharmacological challenges, neuropsychological testing, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional neuroimaging with fMRI, MEG and PET in healthy volunteers, patient and at-risk groups. **Follow our work** Follow us on Twitter at [@OxfordPERL][3] Our University of Oxford web page: [https://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/research/psychopharmacology-and-emotion-research-laboratory][4] Our public-facing recruitment page for information on how to take part in our research: [https://www.perloxford.org][5] [1]: https://files.osf.io/v1/resources/qrwyv/providers/osfstorage/5cd1ecd396b9d1001ba2224b?mode=render [2]: https://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/images/research/perl-group-2/responsive_image?ratio=image&scale=w1140 [3]: https://twitter.com/oxfordperl?lang=en [4]: https://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/research/psychopharmacology-and-emotion-research-laboratory [5]: https://www.perloxford.org
