Psychoneuroendocrine Research Lab

The Psychoneuroendocrine (PNE) Research Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center, directed by E. Sherwood Brown, MD, PhD, MBA, Professor of Psychiatry, has been at the forefront of research since 1998. Our program focuses on two key areas: understanding substance use disorders, particularly in the context of co-occurring mood disorders (dual diagnosis), and investigating the impact of corticosteroids on mood and memory.
