Research project studying neuronal activity in the nucleus accumbens related to cue-reward learning to understand mechanisms underlying substance use disorder.
Description
This project investigates the neuronal activity in the nucleus accumbens during cue-reward learning, using optogenetics and two-photon imaging in mice. The project aims to understand the neural basis of cue-driven reward seeking and relapse, focusing on the role of NAc neuronal activity during learning.
