Mapping and manipulating circuits for relapse and abstinence [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Gavan McNally (Principal investigator)

Brief description Alcohol-use disorders and other drug addictions are chronically relapsing conditions. Current treatment approaches have only modest efficacy. Two advances are needed for genuine improvement. The first is parsing the brain mechanisms supporting abstinence and relapse at cellular as well as circuit levels. The second is targeting these circuits therapeutically with the same precision. This project contributes to the first advance and lays a basic science platform for next generation therapeutics.
