Funded Activity Summary

Molecular mechanisms causing relapse. This project aims to identify the neural connectivity and molecular profile of ventral pallidal neurons in the brain that control drug and alcohol addiction, relapsing disorders where users lose the ability to inhibit drug seeking behaviour. This project integrates neurobiological and psychological attributes of relapse. The anticipated outcomes provide insights about molecular mechanisms causing relapse, and expand knowledge of brain mechanisms that contribute to relapsing disorders such as drug addiction and obesity. The findings from this project could be used to reduce relapse, and hence reduce the burden of alcohol related problems on health, the community and the Australian economy.
