"Neural activity signatures of compulsive substance use"
Summary:
Elucidating the neural activity patterns associated with vulnerability to substance use disorders and how vulnerability can be precipitated by experiences is critical to understanding and treating these disorders. We describe a pipeline for leveraging individual differences in pathology-like behaviors in rodents to investigate the circuit mechanisms underlying vulnerability. We apply this approach to compulsive alcohol drinking behaviors, a cardinal symptom of alcohol use disorders.
