Jean-Baptiste Pochon, Ph.D.

Dr. Pochon received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the Sorbonne University in Paris under the supervision of Professor Bruno Dubois and Professor Richard Levy. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University with J.D. Cohen. In Dr. Edythe London's lab he uses multimodal neuroimaging (MRI, PET) to examine brain function associated with substance use.
