Abraham Escobedo

Abraham has a Master’s degree in Psychological Science with a focus in behavioral pharmacology from California State University San Marcos. He is interested in studying how stress and reward-seeking behaviors affect goal-oriented motivated behaviors such as reward and drug-seeking, active coping versus passive coping, and the mechanisms of action involved during the depiction of these behaviors. With the long-term goal of understanding how the maladaptation of these behaviors can lead to the development of mood, anxiety, and addiction disorders.
