Michael E. Ragozzino, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Psychology, Biological Sciences
Integrative Systems, Cognition/Learning
The main focus of my research focuses on understanding the neurobiology of learning and memory. The research involves in vivo neurochemistry techniques to understand neurotransmitter functions underlying learning and memory, as well as human brain.
