Biography

Graduate Areas:
  • Psychological Science - Behavioral Neuroscience

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

Research Interests:

Research in the Gilman lab is focused on bridging gaps in knowledge about how consuming unhealthy diets, or experiencing other forms of environmental stress, feed forward to promote maladaptive behavioral changes.  Such behavioral shifts include persistent consumption of unhealthy diet, inappropriate responses to stressors, or both, frequently culminating in psychiatric symptoms that are comorbid with metabolic or cardiovascular diseases.  Specifically, we are investigating how diet- and stress-related neuroactive hormones affect brain circuits regulating food seeking to initiate and perpetuate this feed-forward pathophysiology that can dramatically impact behavior.
