Neural Ensembles & Used Substances (NExUS) Collaboratory: Building a Multimodal Inventory of Cell Ensembles Encoding the Effects of Addictive Substances (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This grant supports collaborative research to develop systematic, scalable methods for identifying, mapping, and analyzing groups of neurons that respond to addictive substances. It funds the creation of a multimodal database of neural ensembles and the testing of hypotheses linking specific neural activity patterns to behavioral states such as intoxication, craving, and dependence.
