About the Lab

We study neurobiological mechanisms of relapse to drug seeking and choice of drug versus non-drug rewards using rat models developed in the lab (Shaham group). We also study neurophysiological mechanisms of addictive drugs and motivated behavior (Kiyatkin group).

Current projects of Shaham group:

  1. Relapse to fentanyl seeking after palatable food choice-induced voluntary abstinence
  2. Relapse to oxycodone seeking after abstinence induced by adverse consequences of drug taking
  3. Context-induced relapse to heroin seeking
  4. Choice of remifentanil versus social reward in an operant model

Current projects of Kiyatkin group (In-vivo electrophysiology unit):

  1. Neurochemical mechanisms of opioid actions in the CNS
  2. Interactions of opioids with therapeutic drugs and other drugs of abuse
  3. Electrochemical evaluation of changes in brain oxygen and glucose
