12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Nii Addy, Ph.D. (Yale University)
CCN Colloquium & Center for Addiction and Behavioral Change

Dr. Addy will present his team's recent research findings on the neurobiological underpinnings of substance use and mood disorders. He will focus on preclinical investigations identifying circuit-specific cholinergic, dopaminergic and L-type calcium channel mechanisms regulating motivated behaviors, particularly in the context of substance use and misuse, and in responses to stress and anxiety. Dr. Addy will also describe his ongoing work examining novel pharmacotherapeutic targets for comorbid substance use and mood disorders. Finally, Dr. Addy will discuss his public facing, science communication and mental health advocacy work, where he integrated insights from neuroscience and psychology with considerations of faith, culture, and social justice.

** Co Sponsored with the Center for Addiction and Behavior Change (CABC) and the Center for the Study of Addictive Risk and Resilience (C-StARR) **
