Biography

 

Dr. Jasnow is now at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology, Physiology & Neuroscience. His new email address is: aaron.jasnow@uscmed.sc.edu 

Graduate Areas:
  • Psychological Science - Behavioral Neuroscience

Does Dr. Jasnow plan to recruit a doctoral student for the next incoming class?

Specialty:
  • Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology/Neurophysiology
Research Interests:

The Jasnow lab focuses on discovering how environmental experience alters emotional learning, as well as the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fear learning. PTSD and other fear-related disorders are thought to result from an interaction of genetic and environmental factors that enhance the likelihood of a pathological stress response and fear memory following severe trauma. Thus, if we can understand how genetic factors and environmental experience interact to alter basic brain function and ultimately emotional behavior, we can understand how these psychiatric disorders arise and develop potential therapeutic interventions. We use virus-mediated genetic manipulation and transgenic mouse models to discover the basic underlying brain mechanisms regulating prolonged physiological and behavioral responses to traumatic experience.
