Ethan Foscue

Ethan Foscue is a Researcher affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine, working within the DiLeone Lab. He holds a BA from Skidmore College (2010). His research focuses on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying drug effects, particularly ethanol's aversive and rewarding properties, with a focus on age-related differences in drug responses. His work bridges neuroscience and pharmacology, investigating topics such as dopamine release modulation, dietary impacts on opioid efficacy, and neural pathways regulating behavior.

• Education: BA in Neuroscience/Neurobiology, Skidmore College (2010)

Research Interests:
His studies explore how physiological and behavioral responses to drugs like ethanol and opioids vary between adolescents and adults. Key themes include conditioned taste aversion, neuropharmacological pathways (e.g., STEP61 inhibition), and the influence of diet (e.g., ketogenic) on drug effects. His work has implications for understanding addiction and developing targeted therapies.

Publications reflect a focus on neural mechanisms, drug interactions, and developmental neuroscience. While no awards are explicitly listed, his contributions to schizophrenia and Alzheimer's models highlight translational research potential. No grants or student advisement information is provided in the text.

Labs/Teams: Active in the DiLeone Lab, collaborating with senior researchers like Ralph DiLeone and Jane Taylor.
