NIH grant awarded to study how prenatal opioid exposure affects brain circuits involved in alcohol-related behaviors, using advanced scientific methods to explore sex differences and neural mechanisms.
Description
This is a NIH grant project focusing on the impact of prenatal opioid exposure on neural circuits related to alcohol behaviors, with a multidisciplinary approach including electrophysiology, proteomics, microscopy, and optogenetics. The project aims to understand mechanisms in males and females, with a focus on the dorsal striatum and glutamatergic transmission.
