Adam Kimbrough studies the behavioral and brain circuit basis of addiction, using animal models (rats and mice) to examine how repeated exposure to drugs such as cocaine, oxycodone, fentanyl, alcohol, and nicotine leads to compulsive drug-seeking, withdrawal symptoms, and related brain changes. Work in this lab combines large-scale behavioral testing, genetic analysis, and brain connectivity methods to identify measurable patterns and biological factors linked to addiction-like behaviors. This research is intended to help explain individual differences in vulnerability to substance use disorders.
Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from just a few papers per year around 2017-2019 to a peak of 11 in 2024, with generally increasing activity in recent years.
