Clive Wynne studies dogs and the human-dog bond. He studies the evolution, development and dynamics of this bond. 
His specific focus for research is the behavior of dogs and their wild relatives. His most recent book, "Dog is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You," explores the unique characteristics of canines and their relationship to humans.

Among other topics, Wynne鈥檚 research group studies the ability of pet dogs to react adaptively to the behaviors of the people they live with; the deployment of applied behavior analytic techniques to the treatment of problem behaviors; the behaviors of shelter dogs that influence their chances of adoption into human homes; improved methods for training sniffer dogs; and the development of test banks for studying cognitive aging in pet dogs.

Clive Wynne is a Professor of Psychology, director of the Canine Science Collaboratory and co-author of the book "Animal Cognition: Evolution, Behavior and Cognition." His newest book is 鈥淒og is Love.鈥�

Dr. Stephanie D. Preston is the head of the ENL and a Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. She completed an MA and Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley where she studied the biological bases of hoarding in animals. This was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine studying the neural substrates of decision making. She is interested in the intrinsic effects of emotion on decision making, particularly decisions about resources such as material goods, money, food, and social support.

Dr. Adrienne Antonson is a researcher at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and an assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She joined the UIUC faculty in January 2021.
Antonson's research is anchored within the fields of immunology, microbiology, and developmental and behavioral neuroscience. She uses translational animal models to investigate inflammatory and neurodevelopmental origins of behavioral abnormalities and mental health disorders. Focusing on the prenatal period as a critical developmental window, she has demonstrated that maternal insults such as viral infection and psychological stress during pregnancy alter neuroimmune signatures in the offspring brain, leading to disrupted behaviors.

Steve Maren is a neuroscientist who studies the neurobiology of emotional learning and memory. He directs the  at the .
Maren's  is broadly focused on understanding brain regions and circuits that are important for emotional learning and memory, including memories for traumatic events. His work has international reach, and he is among the most highly cited behavioral neuroscientists in the world. 
Maren previously served as University Distinguished Professor and Charles H. Gregory Chair of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University. He was also affiliated with TAMU’s Institute for Neuroscience. He has been continuously funded by the NIH since 1995. He has mentored 37 graduate students and postdocs and serves on the editorial board of Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Learning & Memory, and Hippocampus. He also has extensive administrative experience. At TAMU, he served as the Dean’s Research Fellow, and Chair of the Council of Principal Investigators, while at Michigan he led the Neuroscience Graduate Program.
