Kevin Crombie PhD

Kevin Crombie, Ph.D., received a doctorate in kinesiology with a specialization in exercise psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2019. His dissertation research primarily examined psychobiological responses to aerobic exercise and stress in adults with PTSD in addition to the role of the endocannabinoid system in exercise-induced enhancement of fear extinction in rodent models. His current research is focused on examining whether aerobic exercise in conjunction with extinction training improves cognitive, physiological, and neural indices of extinction recall, and determining whether exercise influences reinforcement learning in adult women with PTSD using computational modeling and neuroimaging approaches.
