Current Research: Aaron Ettenberg Keywords: behavioral neuroscience; psychopharmacology; neurobiology of drug abuse; biological basis of reinforcement and motivation Research in Professor Ettenberg's Behavioral Pharmacology Laboratory
has focused primarily on the neurobiological substrates underlying reinforced
and motivated behaviors. Behavioral, pharmacological and physiological
manipulations are combined in attempts to understand the nature of the
brain mechanisms subserving the reinforcing effects of food, water, sex
and psychoactive drugs. The laboratory has been particularly active in
the development and employment of novel behavioral assays that provide
a unique approach to the study of drug-behavior interactions. The National
Institute of Drug Abuse has funded the most recent work investigating
the positive and negative properties of stimulant and opiate drugs in
self-administering animals. Faculty Home | Current Research | Selected Publications
