Brief description Addiction to drugs is a major health and social burden for Australian society. Once addiction is established, prevention of relapse is the most significant obstacle to successful treatment. Unfortunately, efficacious pharmaceutical options to treat relapse are lacking. By employing an animal model of relapse that accurately reflects drug taking in humans the proposed project aims to advance our understanding of the brain mechanism underlying addiction.
