Research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study mu opioid receptor signaling in medial thalamic neurons and its effects on pain and opioid withdrawal using various neuroscience techniques in mice.
Description
The project focuses on the role of mu opioid receptor signaling in medial thalamic neurons related to hyperalgesia and opioid withdrawal. The project involves behavioral pharmacology, imaging, electrophysiology, and optogenetics in mice. The project aims to understand the neural circuits involved in pain and reward processing related to opioids.
