Charles S . Bockman, PhD

Assistant Professor

Pharmacology & Neuroscience

Dr. Bockman’s laboratory focuses on the role of extrinsic stimuli in regulating sensitivity to drugs of abuse.  We study the  brain’s neuroplastic response to environmental enrichment in an effort to discover more efficacious treatments for drug addiction.
