Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brenda M. Gannon's research focuses on the abuse-related effects of drugs and drug mixtures, particularly synthetic cathinones and novel arylcyclohexylamines. Her work investigates the interactions of these substances with monoamine transporters, such as the norepinephrine transporter, and their impact on behavior in rodent models. Gannon has published on the development of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents and the role of the endocannabinoid system in alcohol dependence. Her studies also examine phencyclidine-like abuse liability and psychosis-like neurocognitive effects of novel drugs. Gannon is affiliated with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has a notable number of shared publications with collaborators including William E. Fantegrossi and Lauren R. Fitzgerald. Her scholarship includes 50 publications and a h-index of 16, with 906 total citations.
