Biography
Diana Dow-Edwards is Professor in the department of Physiology and Pharmacology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, United States of America.
Research Interest
We study the effects of addictive drugs on the functional ontogeny of the CNS, both prenatal and adolescent development, with a special emphasis on male-female differences. These highly translational studies have contributed greatly to understanding brain-behavior relationships and how drug exposure during development alters the neural circuits mediating these relationships.
