Behavioral Neuroscience approach to investigating the neural substrates of behaviors related to drug and food addiction

The focus of my laboratory is to apply methods of behavioral neuroscience towards the study of drug and food addiction. Using an animal model, we attempt to reveal the neural substrates that underlie the reinforcement and motivational processes that contribute to the seeking and intake of addictive drugs and food. Our research addresses these concerns and questions through an integrative approach of behavioral, pharmacological, and molecular biological techniques.
