Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohaddeseh Ebrahimi-Ghiri is an accomplished Iranian behavioral neuroscientist whose academic and research career centers on understanding the complex neurobiological mechanisms underlying learning and memory, anxiety, fear conditioning, depression, sleep deprivation, and reward processes, and she has significantly contributed to translational research involving animal models of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, hepatic encephalopathy, and Alzheimer’s disease while also advancing experimental electrophysiology techniques such as patch-clamp recording. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohaddeseh Ebrahimi-Ghiri completed her B.S. in Biology at Shiraz University in 2002, followed by an M.S. and Ph.D. in Animal Physiology at Kharazmi University, Tehran, where her graduate research explored dopaminergic and opioidergic mechanisms in reward, motivation, and morphine-related behaviors, guided by leading neuroscientists Dr. Parvin Rostami and Dr. Mohammad-Reza Zarrindast.
