Judith A. Halpern

Judith A. Halpern is an American neurobiologist and researcher known for her work on how the brain processes memory and emotional health, particularly focusing on conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She studies the brain's neural circuits and molecular mechanisms to better understand how trauma affects brain function. Her research aims to improve treatments for mental health conditions by identifying new targets for therapy. Halpern’s work combines neuroscience, psychology, and molecular biology to advance knowledge of brain behavior relationships, with a goal of improving outcomes for individuals affected by trauma and related disorders.
