Cocaine Cue-Induce Craving
In the laboratory......
• Study the brain sites that mediate conditioned relapse-like behavior
• Determine the molecules that give rise to conditioned relapse-like behavior
(e.g., genes; proteins)
• Test medications that may reduce conditioned relapse-like behavior
• Study the consequences of conditioned drug use
(e.g., neurocognitive; brain plasticity changes)
