Ken Soderstrom is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology at the Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University. His research utilizes zebra finches to investigate persistent neural and behavioral effects of CNS-active drugs during developmental critical periods and trauma recovery. Dr. Soderstrom's work centers on how drug exposures during sensitive developmental windows alter learning- and memory-related neural circuitry, leading to long-term behavioral impairments. His laboratory employs songbirds—which naturally develop complex vocalizations during a critical period—to study cannabinoid impacts on sensorimotor skill acquisition and recovery from neural damage. This research has direct relevance to human conditions including learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a dominant focus on cannabinoid pharmacology, particularly contrasting effects of THC versus CBD on neuroinflammation, synaptic integrity, and vocal motor recovery. His work demonstrates how developmental cannabinoid exposure persistently modifies neural structure (dendritic spines, gene expression) and function (reward processing, vocal learning), while identifying CBD's therapeutic potential for neural repair. Dr. Soderstrom mentors graduate student Mark Tripson and collaborates with Research Specialist Saina Gao. His laboratory investigates mechanisms of neural plasticity and pharmacological interventions to mitigate developmental drug impacts and promote post-injury recovery, with implications for neuroprotective strategies in clinical contexts.

Her research spans neuroscience, behavioral endocrinology, and academic workplace dynamics, with current office located in Iacocca Hall (D215) and contact via jms5@lehigh.edu. Her research journey began with circadian rhythm studies identifying multiple biological oscillators, then progressed to neuroendocrinology where she demonstrated sex steroid-induced neural plasticity in male limbic areas requiring BDNF. Currently on laboratory hiatus, she focuses on conflict management, open educational resources, and restorative practices to address workplace bullying in academia. Her work with Lehigh's faculty senate established ethical codes and equitable positions for non-tenured faculty, while her role in the Academic Parity Movement defines faculty bullying standards in higher education. Recent publications reveal interdisciplinary evolution from core neuroscience to academic culture analysis. Her 2021 nanomedicine studies examine sex as a biological variable and publication bias, while 2020 works address diversity strategies and open educational resource development. Earlier neurobehavioral research (1979-2018) established foundational knowledge on circadian regulation, pheromone processing, and BDNF's role in sexual behavior using rodent models. Swann maintains active service through the Society of Senior Ford Fellows, International Ombuds Association, and International Association on Workplace Bullying and Harassment. She serves on advisory boards for Academic Parity, COBRE (Delaware State), ASCEND (Morgan State), and environmental justice initiatives including PennFutures and the Lehigh Valley Justice Institute.

Stephen M. Siviy is a Professor in the Psychology Department at Gettysburg College with a distinguished research career spanning over three decades. His work primarily focuses on the neurobiological and behavioral aspects of play in juvenile rats, with particular emphasis on how genetic factors, early life experiences, and neuropharmacological manipulations influence play behavior. Dr. Siviy's research interests span several key areas in behavioral neuroscience: Neurobiological substrates of social play behavior Effects of dopamine and serotonin systems on play motivation Genetic differences in play behavior between rat strains (particularly Fischer 344 and Lewis rats) Impact of early life experiences (neonatal handling, cross-fostering) on play development Relationship between play behavior and responses to adversity or predator threats Pharmacological manipulations of play behavior (amphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepines) Analysis of Dr. Siviy's publication record from 1987 to 2021 reveals a consistent focus on the neurobehavioral aspects of play. His work demonstrates how play behavior serves as a valuable model for understanding fundamental neural processes related to motivation, emotion, and social interaction. A notable trend in his research is the examination of how genetic differences between rat strains interact with environmental factors to shape play behavior. More recently, his work has explored connections between play behavior and vulnerability to substance use disorders, suggesting that individual differences in play may predict later alcohol intake and control over seeking behavior. Dr. Siviy has established himself as a leading researcher in the specialized field of play behavior neurobiology, contributing significantly to our understanding of how playful behavior develops and functions in the mammalian brain.
