This award funds research to identify genes involved in amphetamine addiction by screening genetic mutations in C. elegans, aiming to elucidate molecular mechanisms of amphetamine's effects on dopamine signaling and addiction.
Description
A forward genetic screen using mutated strains from the Million Mutations Project (MMP) to identify novel proteins involved in amphetamine action and addiction mechanisms using C. elegans as a model organism.
