Dr. Hammack will describe how animal models have enhanced our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying anxiety-related behaviors, leading to the discovery of novel neuropeptides and brain circuits that are now implicated in human anxiety disorders. Professor Hammack (PhD University of Colorado, Boulder) is currently assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Vermont (UVM). He currently directs a laboratory at UVM that is conducting multiple studies associated with the neurobiology of emotion and stress-resilience, with a particular interest in the bed nucleus of stria terminalis and its modulation by serotonin.
