Franziska Plessow, PhD
Associate Professor

School of Medicine

She directs the ADAPT Lab (Advancing Discovery in Adaptability, Plasticity, and Therapeutics) and serves as Scientific Domain Lead for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and Cognitive Phenotyping within the Translational Psychedelic Research Program. Dr. Plessow studies the biological substrates and cognitive processes that underlie cognitive control — the capacities that align behavior with current goals and anticipated demands. Her lab conducts mechanistic, multimodal studies that integrate carefully validated cognitive paradigms with neuroendocrine and neuroimmune assays, pharmacologic and noninvasive brain-stimulation probes, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to map when control adapts — or fails to adapt — to acute and chronic perturbations. One program identifies biological determinants and liabilities of adaptive control across internal and external contexts; a second examines how control dysregulation contributes to psychopathology. Her goal is to translate mechanistic insights into biomarker-anchored precision diagnostics and interventions that improve risk stratification, prevention, and treatment across conditions marked by control dysregulation, including stress-related disorders, eating and weight disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and obesity.
