Neural circuits which limit alcohol and soft drink intake [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Alcohol and soft drinks are ubiquitous, and often harmful, particularly in excess. This project will examine the specific roles of fluid and food satiation neural circuits in suppressing intake, to determine whether either or both could be therapeutic targets for alcohol/soft drink overconsumption, especially as cessation aids for binge-drinking behaviour.
