Steven E. Fox is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center's College of Medicine, where he directs a research laboratory focused on hippocampal electrophysiology and pharmacology. His primary research investigates the synaptic mechanisms of hippocampal theta rhythm—a neural oscillation occurring during movement and paced by cholinergic neurons from the medial septal nuclei. Using in vivo recordings in freely-moving rats, his work demonstrates how theta rhythm enhances place field stability through increased firing within location-specific fields and phase-dependent timing shifts. This research directly links cholinergic degeneration to Alzheimer's disease memory deficits, with key studies showing muscarinic receptor blockade degrades spatial firing patterns. Analysis of his publications (1993-2020) reveals consistent focus on theta rhythm's role in spatial navigation, evolving from foundational current source density analyses to targeted pharmacological dissection of acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate systems. Recent work establishes that septal circuit integrity is essential for place cell navigation functions, while earlier studies quantified theta-phase modulation of place fields using local neurotransmitter manipulations. Dr. Fox's laboratory includes Elena S. Brazhnik, Ph.D., as Senior Research Scientist. His team employs unit recording combined with localized drug delivery to isolate synaptic mechanisms while controlling behavioral variables, maintaining rigorous experimental design across decades of research.

Leslie Matuszewich is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northern Illinois University, specializing in the Neuroscience and Behavior program. Her research investigates stress-stimulant interactions on neurochemistry and behavior using rodent models, with emphasis on developmental exposure effects and sex-dependent responses. Education Ph.D., SUNY Buffalo, 1997 Research Focus : Dr. Matuszewich's laboratory examines how chronic unpredictable stress and juvenile stimulant exposure (methamphetamine/Ritalin) alter neurotransmitter dynamics and behavior. Key methodologies include in vivo microdialysis with HPLC, Morris water maze testing, and defensive burying paradigms. Her work reveals persistent neurochemical sensitization following stress, sex-specific stress responses, and long-term cognitive alterations from early stimulant exposure. Current studies probe neural circuit changes underlying reward/aversion processing. Publication Trends : Analysis of 15 recent articles (2011-2019) shows consistent focus on stress-stimulant interactions, particularly methamphetamine. Dominant themes include developmental neurotoxicity (juvenile exposure effects), sex differences in stress/drug responses, and spatial learning alterations. Techniques predominantly involve rodent behavioral assays (water maze, defensive burying) coupled with neurochemical analysis, with increasing attention to gonadal hormone modulation of reward pathways. Grants & Mentoring : Dr. Matuszewich secured NIH funding including NIMH R15MH099521-01 (2012-2015) on PTSD biomarkers and NIDA RO3 DA016947-01 (2003-2005) on stress-cocaine interactions. She actively mentors students, with 8 advisees co-authoring recent conference presentations on stress-motivation relationships and juvenile methylphenidate effects. Her lab provides undergraduate research opportunities in behavioral neuroscience. Laboratory : The Matuszewich lab (PM 420) utilizes rat and prairie vole models to study stress-stimulant neuroadaptations. Current projects investigate long-term retention after juvenile methylphenidate exposure, gonadal hormone effects on sucrose motivation, and social isolation impacts on monoamine systems.
