Research summary

Brady K. Atwood studies how the brain's circuits and chemical signaling systems influence behavior, with a particular focus on substance use. Much of the work examines how opioids, alcohol, and the brain's own cannabis-like signaling molecules (endocannabinoids) shape communication between neurons and drive behaviors such as habit formation and drug intake, including the effects of prenatal drug exposure.
