Linda Parkers program of research cuts across the traditional boundaries of psychology, pharmacology and neurobiology, contributing not only to understanding basic processes of learning, but also to how those processes impact on food selection, addiction and gastrointestinal malaise. Her group is involved in interdisciplinary research with teams of chemists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists and psychologists around the world trying to characterize the functions of the newly discovered endogenous cannabinoid neuromodulator system in the brain, particularly in the regulation of nausea and vomiting. Parker is an acknowledged world leader in the neurobiology of nausea and vomiting and associative mechanisms underlying food aversion learning.

琳达帕克的研究计划跨越了心理学，药理学和神经生物学的传统界限，不仅有助于理解学习的基本过程，而且有助于了解这些过程如何影响食物选择，成瘾和胃肠道不适。她的团队与世界各地的化学家，药理学家，神经科学家和心理学家团队进行跨学科研究，试图描述新发现的内源性大麻素神经调节剂系统在大脑中的功能，特别是在恶心和呕吐的调节中。 帕克在恶心和呕吐的神经生物学以及食物厌恶学习的相关机制方面是公认的世界领导者。
