Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lauren R. Fitzgerald investigates the effects of various drugs on behavior and neurocognitive processes in rodent models, as well as in human participants. Her work includes studying structure-activity relationships for psychostimulant effects and interactions with monoamine transporters. Fitzgerald has also examined the abuse liability and psychosis-like effects of novel arylcyclohexylamine drugs in rodents and the influence of ambient temperature on psychostimulant responses. In human studies, her research has explored the role of gabapentin and D-cycloserine in conjunction with naloxone in individuals undergoing methadone maintenance and those transitioning to buprenorphine-assisted treatment. Fitzgerald collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Brenda M. Gannon and William E. Fantegrossi, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2 and 12 total citations across 6 publications.
