Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jessica Tiber"
- Jessica Tiber's research primarily focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a strong emphasis on the role of neuroactive steroids and the microtubule cytoskeleton.
- In her 2023 study published in *Psychopharmacology*, Tiber investigated the effects of pregnenolone on alcohol craving and stress dysregulation, finding that it may help normalize HPA axis and autonomic responses, thereby potentially reducing relapse risk in individuals with alcohol use disorder.
- Tiber's earlier work, featured in *Front Cell Neurosci*, highlights the critical role of the microtubule cytoskeleton in neurodevelopment, emphasizing its importance in processes such as neuron migration, axon guidance, and synapse formation, which are essential for establishing and maintaining neural connections during development.
