NEAL-BELIVEAU,
BETHANY S. (Associate Professor) Ph.D. 1987, University of Minnesota; M.S. 1985,
University of Minnesota; B.S. 1980, Purdue University. Specialty: Psychopharmacology.
Research interests include the developmental plasticity of the brain following exposure to
drugs or toxins either in utero or during the first weeks of life. Current
research examines the effects of early insults (e.g., drugs of abuse, lesions, and stress)
on the development of the brain dopamine system, using both behavioral and neurochemical
methodology.
