My name is Patrick Sperling, and I am a fourth-year Psychological and Brain Sciences major assisting Shivang Shelat. I currently work at Amen Clinics in Dallas, Texas, where we specialize in brain imaging included in a multi-modal approach to treatment to identify the underlying causes of mental health challenges—areas often overlooked in traditional psychiatry. I am particularly interested in the impact of drugs on the brain and how they interact with its complex systems.
