Dr. Matthew A. Garlinghouse received his undergraduate degree from Concordia College, Moorhead, MN. He received his M.S. in Psychology from North Dakota State University and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Dakota, where his dissertation research focused on cognitive inhibition and schizotypy. He completed his internship in the Neuropsychology Program and Brain Imaging Laboratory at Dartmouth Medical School and is currently a second year postdoctoral fellow with that program. At Dartmouth, he is involved in carrying out existing MRI research protocols evaluating reward circuitry/addiction in patients with schizophrenia (PIs: Alan I. Green, M.D., Andrew J. Saykin, Psy.D., Robert M. Roth, Ph.D.). His current research interests focus on the neurobiology of Schizotypal Personality Disorder, how it relates to schizophrenia in terms of the functioning of reward circuitry and whether or not reward circuitry dysfunction might be related to increased rates of addiction in this population. In 2007 he received an institutional Translational Neuroscience Training Grant (T32) which will allow him to research these and related topics on a full time basis in cooperation with the Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth.
