RESEARCH:

Neurobiological mechanisms conferring risk and resilience for the development of psychiatric conditions including substance use disorders

Dr. Love’s research focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms conferring risk and resilience for the development of psychiatric conditions including substance use disorders.  Her work utilizes a variety of behavioral, genetic, and neuroimaging techniques including positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), arterial spin labeling (ASL), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to investigate the underlying processes that drive sensitivity to stress, pain, reward, and, ultimately, addiction.
