David J. Echevarria

Associate Professor
Research Interests: My research is focused on the application of rodent behavioral models to study the neurobiological basis of cognition. I am interested in assessing the effects of stress and anxiety on learning and memory processes. From the perspective of neurobiological mechanisms, I am specifically interested in how the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems function during both normal and stressed states to influence behavior and cognition. In addition to these “classical” neurotransmitters, I also study the role of neuropeptides in the effects of stress on cognition.
