FRAZIER LABORATORY

Welcome to the Frazier Lab. We are located in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacodynamics... At present we have two specific areas of research focus. The first is on centrally acting oxytocin and its role in stress responding, anxiety, and social interactions. The second is on age-related changes in cellular and synaptic physiology in prefrontal cortex and amygdala, with an emphasis on understanding impacts on executive function and decision making. Recent/prior work from the lab has also focused on the role of endocannabinoids and ambient GABA in modulating neuronal excitability in the hippocampus (an area of the brain essential for leaning and memory, and implicated in the initiation of some types of temporal lobe seizures). In addition, we are interested in software development for use in neurobiology. We are currently developing and maintaining software for analysis of electrophysiological data, telemetry data, and imaging data from quantitative..
