Jennifer Berry

Jennifer Berry earned a B.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky, with a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychopharmacology. She routinely teaches learning, biological basis of behavior, research methods and statistics, and a seminar in neuroscience drugs and behavior. Dr. Berry’s research focuses on the neurochemical and behavioral changes resulting from substances of abuse in animal models, including co-consumption of alcohol and nicotine as well as alcohol and caffeine. She also focuses on the neuroendocrine (i.e. stress hormone) responses to these substances of abuse in hopes of better identifying underlying factors contributing to addiction and relapse.
