Jom Hammack is a professor of Behavioral Psychology at the University of Vermont. His research involves understanding the neurobiological mechanisms of stress, emotion, and resilience. His particular interest, however, focuses on the involvement of serotonin and stress-related neuropeptides in mediating the behavioral consequences of exposure to stressful stimuli, as well as the neurochemical changes mediating stress-resilience. As host Keith Pannell visited the University of Vermont for a series of presentations, he had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Hammack and discuss his interests and recent discoveries in his area of expertise.
