Jeff received a B.S. in Psychology from Allegheny College, a Ph.D.
in Behavioral Neuroscience/Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh,
and conducted postdoctoral research in the department of Physiology
at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland and in the department of
Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Jeff teaches
Physiological Psychology, Introductory Psychology, Research Methods
and Statistics, and a Junior Seminar on Neuroscience.
Jeff's general research interests are the neural basis of motivation
and cognition. He has experience in the use of neurophysiological, anatomical
and behavioral techniques to address the role of different brain regions
in these processes. His studies have been directed at identifying and
characterizing subcortical brain regions involved in the processing
of rewards and the integration of information involved in cognitive
processes. These studies have important implications for the role of
the neurotransmitter dopamine in learning and motivation and for the
ways in which cognitive associations may be reflected at the level of
individual neurons. He plans to continue these studies to further elucidate
the neural mechanisms involved. His hobbies include travel, foreign
languages and military history. His favorite color is paisley.
