A.J. Robison

A.J. Robison is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Neuroscience Program at Michigan State University. Their research focuses on understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying drug addiction and mood disorders, particularly through hippocampal gene expression and epigenetic regulation.
