I am interested in the neurobiology and neurochemistry that underlies the major traits of personality. With the aid of funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), I study 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. The developmental interest in these personality traits is that they define four major dimensions of temperament in children.
