Research project funded by NIDA to study the neurobiological pathways involved in learning with nicotine stimulus, aiming to understand nicotine dependence mechanisms.
Description
This project investigates the neurobiological mechanisms involved in associative learning with nicotine stimulus, focusing on the pathways-specific role of the dorsomedial caudate-putamen (dmCPu). The research aims to identify the circuitry involved in learning with nicotine using chemogenetic approaches, which may provide insights into nicotine dependence.
