PSY-Y 427: MOLECULAR, CELLULAR, AND CIRCUIT MECHANISMS OF ADDICTION I: FOUNDATIONS (3 credits)

Offered at IU Bloomington by College of Arts and Sciences.

About

Looks at how adaptive plasticity processes manifest at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels and orchestrate appropriate behavioral responses in the ever-changing environment. Considers how chemical substances and behavioral stimuli hijack these processes and elicit maladaptive behavioral responses leading to addiction. Examines the neurobiological basis of these plasticity processes.
