Ebony Glover researches the neurobiology of fear and its impact on the brain. Her experience with a traumatic event shortly before completing her doctoral dissertation research fueled Ebony’s passion for understanding why some people develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma exposure, while others are resilient and recover completely.
Ebony is an associate professor of neuroscience at Kennesaw State University and director of the university’s Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spelman College and a doctorate in neuroscience and animal behavior from Emory University.
