Effects and mechanisms of environmental factors on behavior and neurotransmission in rodent models
Research in the Eubig laboratory centers on determining the effects and mechanisms of environmental factors (circadian disruption; developmental or adult exposure to environmental contaminants and drugs of abuse) on behavior and neurotransmission in rodent models. We are also interested in the interaction of these factors with thyroid hormone. The emphasis of our lab is to use neuroscience techniques such as operant behavioral-testing methods, pharmacologic drug challenges, and molecular methods to address toxicology-related research questions.
