This award supports research on the effects of chronic fentanyl intake on gene expression and brain neuronal activity patterns to better understand opioid use disorder and develop new treatments.
Description
The project aims to characterize gene expression changes and neural circuitry alterations following chronic fentanyl intake using rodent models, single nuclei RNA sequencing, and whole-brain imaging to identify novel therapeutic targets for opioid use disorder.
