Award to Stanford University for research on opioid-induced dopamine rhythms and respiratory suppression, funded by NIDA with advanced neuroscience techniques.
Description
The project focuses on investigating rhythmic dopamine signals related to opioid use and respiratory suppression. The project involves advanced techniques such as optogenetics, patch clamp electrophysiology, and single-cell RNA sequencing. Mentors include Dr. Robert Malenka, Dr. Karl Deisseroth, Dr. Boris Heifets, Dr. Ali Mohebi, and Dr. Longzhi Tan. The organization involved is Stanford University, Department of Psychiatry. Funding is provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), CFDA code 93.279. The project aims to understand the neural circuitry affected by opioids and develop potential therapeutic targets.
