Richard Eisenberg, Ph.D.
Professor, Behavioral Science
Adjunct Professor, Physiology and Pharmacology
ResearchHis research interests involve the effects of drugs of abuse on the neuroendocrine axis, with a focus on the action of morphine and other opioids on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal system. His work has been supported by several grants from NIDA to study dependence and tolerance to subcategories of opioids using the neuroendocrine system. His educational efforts have resulted in the authorship of MacPharmacology®, MacBrainLesion™, and MacMedVirology™, a series of computer-assisted instruction modules that have been used in many institutions. Most recently, he has completed the production of an interactive multimedia CD-ROM on alcoholism (Understanding The Alcoholic™). He is currently producing an educational program on Geriatric Therapeutics, funded by NIA.
