Jayme R. McReynolds

Jayme R. McReynolds is a Research Fellow at Marquette University, specializing in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Psychiatry. Their work focuses on stress-induced drug relapse, neuropharmacology of addiction, and neural circuitry involved in substance use disorders.

• Postdoctoral Fellow, Marquette University
• PhD in Cognition and Neuroscience, University of Texas at Dallas
• MS in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience, University of Texas at Dallas
• BS in Biology (Neuroscience concentration), University of California, Irvine

Research interests include:

• Stress and addiction interactions
• Cannabinoid/glucocorticoid receptor signaling
• Neural plasticity in prefrontal-amygdala circuits
• Neuropharmacological interventions for relapse prevention
• Behavioral neuroscience of memory consolidation
• Neuroimmunological pathways in addiction

Recent publications (2023-2014) span topics like stress-induced cocaine self-administration in rodents, CRF system regulation, endocannabinoid mobilization, and synaptic protein expression in prefrontal-amygdala pathways. Over 15 publications in leading journals including Neuropsychopharmacology, Psychopharmacology, and Neurobiology of Stress demonstrate expertise in preclinical addiction models.
