"Anxiety and addiction: building a reverse translational model"

This activity is designed to help you:

  1. explain core brain regions that underlie fear and anxiety
  2. describe the role of anxiety in alcohol use disorders
  3. contrast traditional and reverse translational models and provide an example of a translational finding from rodents to humans
