From Mechanism to Medication: Examining Neural Circuitry Underlying Opioid Reward and Treatment Strategies for Opioid Use Disorder
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: I will begin by presenting basic neuroscience research on opioid reward and opioid seeking, providing an overview of the neural mechanisms and circuitry underlying opioid addiction-related behaviors. I will then segue into presenting a new study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (NIDA CTN).
