Brandon Henderson

Brandon Henderson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Marshall University. His research examines neuropharmacology, focusing on how addictive substances like nicotine alter dopamine signaling and contribute to Parkinson's disease neuroprotection. Techniques include electrophysiology, microscopy, and pharmacological analysis.

Research Interests: Henderson investigates nicotine's impact on midbrain neurons, electronic cigarette flavors' addictive potential, and neuroprotective strategies against neurodegeneration. His work bridges molecular mechanisms and behavioral outcomes in addiction science.

Publications: Recent articles focus on vaping's neurobiological consequences (2020-2025), exploring age-dependent effects, flavorant chemistry, and dopamine system modulation. Trends include translational research bridging animal models and human health implications.

Laboratory: Actively recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral researchers for projects on neural circuitry and addiction pharmacology.
