	Naomi Chaytor Associate Professor Department of Medical Education and Clinical Services naomic@wsu.edu (509) 368-6775 HERB 454, Spokane	Research Interests: • My research is broadly focused on the neuropsychology of type 1 diabetes. Currently funded projects include 1) ecological momentary assessment of cognition, emotion and stress, coupled with continuous glucose monitoring in adults with type 1 diabetes, and 2) a clinical trial of automated insulin delivery in older adults with type 1 diabetes with and without mild cognitive impairment. Other interests include the validation of mobile neuropsychological assessment and ecological validity of neuropsychological assessment in patients with chronic disease.
	Ryan J. McLaughlin Assistant Professor Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience ryan.mclaughlin@wsu.edu (509) 335-6448 VBR 235, Pullman	Research Interests: • A central aim of my research is to study the role of the endocannabinoid system in the neurophysiological and behavioral response to stressful and aversive stimuli, and subsequently, to determine the extent to which this system is involved in the etiology and treatment of stress-related illnesses. Additionally our laboratory has developed a novel, translationally-relevant model of cannabis vapor self-administration in rats, which we are currently using to interrogate the long-term effects of developmental cannabis exposure on the brain, behavior, and cognitive functioning.
