 |
Dr. Hommer received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and his M.D. from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. During his Psychiatry Residency at Yale University he worked in the lab of Steve Bunney using single unit recording techniques to examine the behavior of dopamine neurons. He continued this work, as well as clinical research in schizophrenia, during a fellowship in Steve Paul's laboratory at NIMH. In 1987, he left NIH to join the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle. In 1992, he returned to NIH to lead the Section of Brain Electrophysiology and Imaging within the NIAAA. His laboratory examines functional and structural brain imaging as they relate to alcoholism, with emphasis on brain systems involved in motivation and emotion.
