Synopsis of research, including reference to publications and grants in


above lists
I have been involving in the research studies of Reward deficiency syndrome and cycle in
Brain study Since 2009.
My team group comprehend the famous researchers in the field in the USA and Europe.
The team’s researchers are head of departments at different Universities in the United
states (North Carolina, Boston university, Colombia university, Florida, Cleveland and
New York, Hungary, Romania).
We are searching the role of different neurotransmitters and their role in neurological and
psychiatric diseases especially the Dopamine neurotransmission in the Brain. Drug abuse
& Addiction prevention and treatment, pathophysiology of PTSD, ADHD and the
strategies to treat them, and drug discovery are in the top of our priority. We are also
looking for different genes involved in these diseases: the discovery of genes involved and
how we can intervein to treat and prevent diseases. We registered a patent for treatment of
depression, anxiety and personality disorders in addition to the high numbers of articles
that we publish in field whose we listed down.
