Benjamin Greenwood

Benjamin Greenwood is Associate Professor of Psychology at University of Colorado Denver, directing the Behavioral Exercise Neuroscience Lab. His research investigates neurobiological mechanisms through which exercise confers stress resistance, with focus on dopaminergic pathways and sex-specific effects in fear extinction paradigms.

Research Areas:

• Neural circuits underlying exercise-induced stress resilience
• Sex differences in behavioral responses to physical activity
• Dopamine signaling in fear memory modulation
• Translational models for PTSD interventions
