Lynne Marrow

Lynne Marrow serves as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health & Society at the University of Salford, where she has held academic positions since 2001, transitioning from the Education Development Unit to Psychology lectureship in 2005.

• PhD in behavioural neuropsychopharmacology from University of Reading
• Post-doctoral research at University of Swansea
• Undergraduate degree in Psychology from University of St Andrews

Her research program integrates neuropsychopharmacology with behavioral assessment, focusing on alcohol hangover mechanisms, dopamine-related addiction pathways, and cognitive style validation through multimodal techniques including fNIRS neuroimaging and eye-tracking. She pioneered triangulated methodologies examining intuition-analysis dimensions of cognition while investigating hangover symptom clusters and pandemic-related behavioral shifts. Her work consistently bridges laboratory neuroscience with real-world public health implications, particularly regarding economic stressors' impact on health behaviors.

Analysis of her 2015-2025 publications reveals three dominant research threads: (1) Alcohol hangover pathophysiology and cognitive consequences, (2) Cognitive style measurement validation using neuroimaging and behavioral metrics, and (3) Pandemic-era behavioral health dynamics involving income loss and dietary changes. These threads demonstrate methodological sophistication through combined psychometric, neuroimaging, and epidemiological approaches.

Lynne actively contributes to learning and teaching enhancement within the university, applying technology-integrated pedagogical approaches to psychology education. Her research outputs demonstrate sustained scholarly productivity with recent publications in high-impact journals including Personality and Individual Differences, Journal of Clinical Medicine, and Appetite.
