Research Interests My research focuses on the pharmacological and neural mechanisms for reward, drug addiction, and psychiatric disorders. In the Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory, we also conduct basic research in order to delineate the roles of predisposing and/or protective factors in the development of drug abuse and addiction. Experimental approaches include various behavioral methodologies, (intracranial self-stimulation, place preference, open field, elevated plus maze, forced swim test), intra-cerebral and systemic pharmacology). In collaboration with other researchers, we have conducted neurochemical, histochemical and morphologicalanalyses to determine cellular and molecular correlates for the behaviors that we study.
