Dr. Robin Nusslock is a distinguished Associate Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University. He also holds prestigious appointments in the departments of Neurology, Neurobiology, and Psychiatry. Known for his expertise in understanding the neural circuitry underpinning human emotions, his extensive research portfolio spans various realms of neuroscience, focusing particularly on both positive and negative emotional states.

Dr. Nusslock’s groundbreaking research delves into how these neural circuits are disrupted in emotional disorders, providing deeper insights into depression, anxiety, addiction, and mania. His work also explores the ways in which stress impacts brain systems involved in emotion generation, and the bidirectional signalling between the brain and the immune system. This robust exploration contributes significantly to our understanding of mental and physical health resilience and risk factors, making him a leading figure in his field.
