معرفی
Scott Bowen is Professor of Psychology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wayne State University. His research integrates behavioral pharmacology and toxicology to understand how abused volatile solvents and opioids disrupt neurodevelopment and behavior across the lifespan.
Education:
- Advanced degrees in Psychology (specific degrees not detailed in provided text).
Research Focus:
Dr. Bowen’s laboratory employs rodent models (rats and mice) to investigate:
- Behavioral Pharmacology & Toxicology: Mechanisms underlying solvent and opioid abuse.
- Neurobehavioral Teratology: Long-term cognitive, emotional, and neural consequences of prenatal exposure to toluene, BTEX mixtures, and opioids.
- Adolescent Vulnerability: How early exposure alters later responses to ethanol and cocaine.
Research Methods:
Behavioral tests for anxiety, depression, memory, operant reward paradigms, developmental milestone tracking, and neurochemical assays.
Collaborators:
John Hannigan, Shane Perrine, Alana Conti, Susanne Brummelte, George Borszcz, Matthew Galloway.
Recent Publications Trend:
Over 2020–2024, publications center on:
- Comparative effects of buprenorphine vs morphine during pregnancy.
- Inflammatory and neurochemical effects of abuse-level toluene and BTEX mixtures.
- Translational rodent models of environmental and gestational exposure.
