Exposure to drug-associated environments (e.g., drug-taking neighborhood) and explicit drug-associated stimuli (e.g., paraphernalia) elicits craving and relapse to drug seeking. Research in our laboratory focuses on studying the neural mechanisms of environmentally-induced motivation to seek cocaine. Research in my lab utilizes behavioral, molecular, neuroanatomical, and histological techniques as well as neuropharmacological, epigenetic and soon optogenetic manipulations.
