Identifying Patterns of Human Polysubstance Use to Guide Development of Rodent Models
The R21 component of this grant will assess patterns of polysubstance use in human cocaine users, with a focus on co-use of alcohol/cannabis. This data will then be used to build novel rodent models of cocaine polysubstance use in order to assess glutamate and dopamine changes in the nucleus accumbens in the R33 component.
