about me

Research Interests

Research Interests
My primary research interests are focused on the neural mechanisms underlying sex differences in the behavioral and molecular responses to psychostimulant and opioid drugs. The overall goal of my work is to clarify interactions among the neuroendocrine system and dopamine reward system using rodent models of addictive behaviors.

Teaching Interests

Teaching Interests
I enjoy educating students in areas of general neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, affective neuroscience, psychophysiology, and psychopharmacology.

Biography

Biography

Linda Perrotti, Ph.D., is a neuroscience researcher and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Perrotti’s overall research is focused on delineating a better understanding of the neuroendocrine mechanisms that mediated sex differences in the behavioral and molecular responses to psychostimulant and opioid drugs. Work from her laboratory has appeared in the Journal of Neuroscience, Molecular Endocrinology and Journal of Molecular Biology, and has been funded by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD) and the National Institute on Drug Addiction (NIDA). Dr. Perrotti received her Ph.D. from The City University of New York Graduate Center. She conducted postdoctoral work in Molecular Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
