Dr. Edythe London's research uses a translational approach to develop a better understanding of addictive disorders and further the rational design of therapeutics. Her laboratory was the first to show a relationship between drug craving and activity in brain regions that underlie episodic memory and link memory with emotion. Her research also has contributed to the development of new approaches and probes for noninvasive brain imaging. Dr. London’s laboratory now focuses on stimulant and nicotine addiction.
