The role of feeding/metabolism hormones on alcohol use disorders
Several feeding/metabolism related hormones such as GLP-1, FGF21, ghrelin and leptin have been linked to alcohol consumption and craving, yet how they act within the brain (or periphery) to mediate this behaviour are unknown. Using cutting-edge molecular and behavioural neuroscience technologies, this project explores brain regions and brain chemicals that underpin this behaviour.
Aim
To understand the brain regions and brain chemicals that underpin alcohol consumption and craving
