Research project funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to study neural circuits related to alcohol use disorder using mouse models and advanced molecular techniques.
Description
The project aims to examine stress and alcohol-induced adaptations in the insular cortex to bed nucleus of the stria terminalis network, a critical hub for AUD-related behavior. The project involves longitudinal strategies, neuroadaptation identification, and RNA sequencing to understand AUD-related circuits. The project is funded by the NIH and involves validated mouse models.
