OverviewAI-generated summary

Brenda M. Gannon's research investigates the pharmacological effects and abuse liability of various psychoactive substances, with a particular focus on their interactions with monoamine transporters. Her work has examined substituted amphetamines, cathinones, and arylcyclohexylamines, exploring their structure-activity relationships and their potential for abuse. Gannon also studies the self-administration of drugs, including oxycodone, in animal models, correlating responses with genetic predispositions. Her investigations extend to the role of the endocannabinoid system in alcohol dependence and the development of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents. She has published 48 papers, accumulating 902 citations, and holds an h-index of 16. Gannon collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including William E. Fantegrossi, with whom she shares nine publications, and Christopher O. Godwin and Heidi D. Hughes-Meredith, with whom she has two shared publications each.
