David Terburg is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University specializing in social neurosciences and psychoneuroendocrinology. His primary research interests focus on automatic social emotional processes that affect behavior. His studies investigate hormonal and opioid systems in the human brain, utilizing methods such as the administration of testosterone, cortisol, and mu-opioid (ant)agonists to manipulate these systems. He also examines the behavioral and physiological effects of naturally occurring lesions in the human amygdala, which plays a crucial role in motivational and emotional processes. Additionally, Terburg engages in cross-species research, employing parallel experiments with humans and rodents to enhance our understanding of these complex interactions.
