Substance abuse is a significant social and economic burden upon Australian societies and on societies around the world. Treatment remains problematic due to the multi-layer nature of the disease, difficulties with treatment compliance and less than ideal treatment regimes. The present study aims to improve treatments for alcohol and drug abuse using pre-clinical models to identify and characterize a new brain system implicated in drug-seeking.

药物滥用是澳大利亚社会和世界各地社会的一个重大社会和经济负担。由于疾病的多层性质，治疗依从性困难以及不理想的治疗方案，治疗仍然存在问题。本研究旨在通过临床前模型来识别和表征与药物寻求有关的新脑系统，从而改善对酒精和药物滥用的治疗。
