Neural circuit selective for fast but not slow dopamine increases in drug reward
Nature Communications, 2023 The faster a drug enters the brain, the greater its addictive potential, yet the brain circuits underlying the rate dependency to drug reward remain unresolved.

Cholesterol as a modulator of cannabinoid receptor CB2 signaling
Scientific Reports, 2021 Signaling through integral membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is influenced by lipid composition of cell membranes. By using novel high affinity ligands of human cannabinoid receptor CB2, we demonstrate that cholesterol increases basal ...

4191 The Role of Suggestibility and Trait Anxiety in Young Adult Alcohol Use
Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2020 OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study was to investigate how suggestibility and social susceptibility relate to alcohol use in young adult non-dependent alcohol users, and the role of trait anxiety in this relationship. We hypothesized that greater

Multidimensional Quality of Life Across the Spectrum of Alcohol Use Behavior
Psychiatric Research and Clinical Practice, 2022 Objective Quality of life (QoL) is inversely associated with alcohol misuse and is a key measure by which recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD) might be assessed. Yet, the determinants of QoL are scarcely known. The authors examined three ways through

Sleep disturbances are associated with cortical and subcortical atrophy in alcohol use disorder
Translational Psychiatry, 2021 Sleep disturbances are prominent in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and predict relapse. So far, the mechanisms underlying sleep disruptions in AUD are poorly understood.
