Neuroscience-related courses taught
Instructor: HD 266: Emotional Functions of the Brain

Professor Depue's work involves the neurobiology and neurochemistry associated with the structure of personality,emotion, and cognition. He studies the relation of dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and opiod function to the traits of extraversion, emotional stability, fear-anxiety, and affiliation, repectively, as well as to cognitive functioning. These neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems are modulated pharmacologically in humans, and the sensitivity of the responses is assessed hormonally, emotionally, motorically, and cognitively. The work has direct implications for personality disorders and disorders of affect. Finally, the manner in which these systems come to be controlled by environmental context is addressed.
