The Neurochemistry Lab focuses on the biochemical aspects of cognitive and psychological processes. It allows for the measurement of biomarkers such as cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone, which are indicators of stress and neuroendocrine functioning. Researchers are guided in developing methodologies and assay protocols for analyzing biological samples, contributing to the growing field of neurobiological psychology.
