      Hi there, In my lab I focus on cocaine. Its not the most addictive drug, but we understand how it works pretty well so we hope to find out information that will be common for other drugs. We look at what changes in the brain of a mouse after it is treated with the drug and compare it to a mouse that is drug free. We have previously studied alcohol, THC which is the active ingrediant in cannabis, opiates (like morphine) and nicotine (found in cigarettes).
