Kristen Morie is an Assistant Professor Adjunct of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on mental health in Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), particularly examining the role of alexithymia in opioid and cocaine use disorders. She investigates how prenatal cocaine exposure impacts neurodevelopment and emotional regulation, with recent work exploring cannabis use escalation in emerging adults. Dr. Morie collaborates closely with researchers like Marc Potenza, Sarah Yip, and Charla Nich on projects involving biomarker validation (e.g., nail testing for alcohol and cannabis) and neuroimaging studies of addiction-related brain activity.
Her work spans translational neuroscience, combining clinical observations with electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques. Key contributions include studies on emotion regulation pathways in mood disorders and the neural correlates of inhibitory control in substance users. Dr. Morie’s research has been published in journals such as Drug and Alcohol Dependence, Journal of Affective Disorders, and Frontiers in Psychiatry.
Her current projects emphasize longitudinal studies of prenatal drug exposure effects and the application of gradient theories to parental brain activation patterns. No specific grants or awards are highlighted in the provided materials, though her active collaborations suggest ongoing research initiatives.
