This project maps and manipulates the brain circuits that promote abstinence from alcohol use. It uses new techniques from neuroscience to control the activity of specific cell types in discrete brain circuits. In this way we can alter the activity of these circuits to build on the normal neural restorative processes that occur during abstinence from alcohol use to reduce, and possibly prevent, relapse.

该项目绘制并操纵促进戒酒的大脑回路。它使用神经科学的新技术来控制离散脑回路中特定细胞类型的活动。通过这种方式，我们可以改变这些回路的活动，以建立在戒酒期间发生的正常神经恢复过程的基础上，以减少甚至可能防止复发。
