"My research interests include the neurochemical correlates and determinants of addictive behavior, behavioral arousal, motivational states, and learning and memory. Current research is concerned with an animal model of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. The focus is on hereditary predispositions to excessive alcohol drinking behavior, sensitivity to alcohol, and tolerance to alcohol."
