• How does exposure to stress alter the rewarding properties of addictive drugs? What mediates the ability of stress to induce a dysphoric state? The evidence suggests a key role in the ability of the Kappa Opioid.
• I used in vivo fast-scan cyclic voltammetry to functionally dissect mesolimbic subcircuits and demonstrate that kappa opioid receptor-induced changes in dopamine signaling can model stress-induced, proaddictive.
• Using in vivo and in vitro fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, behavioral assays, directed viral gene expression, in vivo electrophysiology, and transgenic mouse models, I identified a key role for kappa opioid.

How does the brain create neural representations of haptically explored objects? One hypothesis proposes that complex shapes are synthesized from a series of geometric primitives. While collaborating with the lab of Martha Flanders, I was a primary researcher and oversaw a series of psychophysical experiments from the hypothesis phase through to the.
