This grant opportunity supports research on how cellular processes and brain circuits contribute to substance use and substance use disorders (SUD). It covers studies on neurotransmitter system regulation and flexibility, brain damage caused by substances, interactions between neurons and glial cells, influences of hormones on the nervous system, and the effects of the immune system on the brain.

The Integrative Neuroscience (IN) Branch within DNB supports research on the cellular mechanisms and circuitry that underlie substance use and SUD. Research supported by the Branch covers: regulation and plasticity of neurotransmitter systems, substance-induced neurotoxicity, neuron-glia interac… Show More
