Julie Dumas (external link, opens in new window) is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont Medical Center. The Dumas Lab combines psychopharmacology and functional imaging to study cognition before and after menopause. Recent projects have used cholinergic and dopaminergic medications in combination with estrogen treatment in postmenopausal women to understand how estrogen interacted with these neurotransmitter systems to affect cognition.
