Bill Griesar, Ph.D.
Dr. Griesar loves teaching, and explaining how networks of linked neurons carry out complex behavior. Dr. Griesar's dissertation in Behavioral Neuroscience at OHSU examined nicotine effects on spatial attention, time perception, and boredom in non-smokers. Some earlier (pre-2001) studies of nicotine reported cognitive improvements, but assessed changes in habitual smokers, where results may have been linked to relief from withdrawal.
