1 RESEARCH INTERESTS Rosemarie E. Perry, Ph.D. Department of Applied Psychology 627 Broadway, Room 809, New York University, New York, NY I study the neurobiology underlying the developmental programming, learning, and processing of emotions, social skills, and cognition using both rodent models and human infants. My current research focuses on the lifelong neurobehavioral effects of early life adversity, and attempts to reverse the negative aspects of these early life experiences.
