Title: Drug/Stress-Induced Synaptic Adaptations in the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis: Taming the BeaST of Burden.

Abstract: Treatment for addiction is complicated by the propensity of addicts to relapse to drug intake even after long periods of abstinence. The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis is a component of a series of brain structures referred to as the “extended amygdala”. These structures are thought to play important roles in the long-term adaptations produced by alcohol and drugs of abuse, and to be heavily involved in relapse-related behavior. My lab is investigating the circuit adaptations that occur in this region in response to alcohol, psychostimulants and stress in order to derive potential molecular targets for therapeutic applications.
