    Expertise

    In his research, Jonathan King examines the modulation of learning and memory by stress and other factors. His lab studies how stress affects depressive-like behaviors in rats, and the neuroplastic changes that occur in the hippocampus due to stress and treatment with antidepressants.

    He is also studying the neuroactive properties of traditional Asian herbs such as ginseng and of endocrine disrupting compounds found in the environment.
