Marisa Silveri

"Marisa M. Silveri, PhD, has been studying the neurobiology of brain development and consequences of alcohol and drug abuse using preclinical and clinical models for over two decades. Her current work uses non-invasive magnetic resonance techniques to examine brain structure, function, and neurochemistry, focusing on consequences of alcohol use and abuse. Neurobiological measures are examined relative to cognitive ability and clinical indicators of mood, anxiety, and impulsivity across healthy adolescent, emerging adult, and adult cohorts, and those with addictions and co-occurring psychiatric illnesses." - from mcleanhospital.org
