Research Interests

Dr. Brody’s research focuses on treatment and brain function in cigarette smokers. His current work uses positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to examine how effective treatments for smoking, such as bupropion HCl and group psychotherapy, affect brain function and structure. His group has examined brain activity, markers of dopamine release, and nicotine receptor availability in cigarette smokers.
