This NIH-funded project investigates how stress exposure, specifically predator odor, affects alcohol interoceptive effects and drinking behavior, with implications for PTSD and alcohol use disorder comorbidity.
Description
Individuals who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are often at higher risk for developing comorbid alcohol use disorder (AUD). The studies in this project will provide broader understanding of the consequences of stressor exposure on alcohol interoceptive effects, which are a key component of alcohol drinking.
