About

Jessica Barson is an Associate Professor at Drexel University College of Medicine in the United States. Her research focuses on the neurobiology of addiction, particularly the roles of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and kappa-opioid receptors in motivated behaviors and alcohol consumption. Recent publications explore the effects of PACAP on behavioral alterations and sex-related differences in addiction neuroscience.
