Overview

Geert J. De Vries is affiliated with Georgia State University in the United States and focuses research efforts on psychology and neuroscience. Their work predominantly explores social psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and endocrine and autonomic systems, with additional contributions in pharmacy and cognitive neuroscience.

The scientist's research centers around the neuroendocrine regulation of behavior, stress responses and cortisol, circadian rhythm and melatonin, infant health and development, attachment and relationship dynamics, memory and neural mechanisms, as well as sex and gender in healthcare.
