Lisa Cottone

Contributor
Lisa Cottone, PhD is a research scientist and biopsychologist with over two decades of experience studying the brain mechanisms that influence sleep and waking behavior, addiction, and mental health. She earned her PhD in Biopsychology from Stony Brook University and completed her post-doctoral fellowship at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where she focused on how brain function changes across sleep and wake states, and how these changes relate to psychological health. Her work integrates advanced brain research tools—including EEG, event-related potentials, TMS, neuropsychological assessment and neuroimaging. Her peer-reviewed publications appear in leading journals such as The American Journal of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Drug and Alcohol Dependence, and she is a contributing author to the academic volume The Orbitofrontal Cortex. At ManuMind Interventional Psychiatry, Dr. Cottone applies her scientific insight to support a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, helping bridge the gap between neuroscience research and innovative psychiatric treatment.

Our Promise

How Is Recovery.com Different?

We believe everyone deserves access to accurate, unbiased information about mental health and recovery. That's why we have a comprehensive set of treatment providers and don't charge for inclusion. Any center that meets our criteria can list for free. We do not and have never accepted fees for referring someone to a particular center. Providers who advertise with us must be verified by our Research Team and we clearly mark their status as advertisers.

Our goal is to help you choose the best path for your recovery. That begins with information you can trust.
