Brief Summary of Research:
The focus of our research is the effects of chronic exposure to drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. We are also interested in therapeutics such as L-DOPA and methylphenidate. Both animal models and human patients are used in our studies in which we seek to visualize structural and functional changes that accompany chronic drug exposure.
