Edythe D. London is a leading researcher in the field of pharmacology, with a focus on brain imaging studies related to addiction. She has conducted pioneering translational studies utilizing multi-modal brain imaging techniques such as molecular imaging, PET, MRS, and both structural and functional MRI to elucidate neurochemical and circuit-level abnormalities in the brain that inform evidence-based treatments for addiction. Dr. London has bridged the disciplines of psychiatry, pharmacology, and neuroscience, contributing to several notable advancements, including the mapping of drug-induced euphoria and cravings in the human brain, as well as the visualization of cerebral distributions of abused drugs. Her research has significantly advanced the development of radiotracers for human studies, facilitating research into addictions and related neuropsychiatric disorders. Her recent work focuses on corticostriatal circuitry and dopaminergic signaling, examining cognitive deficits in cocaine users and identifying potential therapeutic targets for addiction treatments.
