Research summary

This researcher studies the neuroscience of alcohol use, focusing on the brain circuits and receptor systems that drive compulsion-like drinking, along with related states such as anxiety and stress. Much of the work uses rat models to examine how brain regions (like the anterior insula and brainstem) and signaling molecules (such as adrenergic, dopamine, and NMDA receptors) shape drinking behavior, and how these processes differ between sexes. A recurring theme is linking physiological measures like heart rate variability to behavioral patterns of alcohol consumption.
