Meredith R. Bauer studies the brain mechanisms behind alcohol drinking behavior, focusing on how specific brain regions (such as the striatum) and glutamate receptors (called AMPA receptors) influence binge drinking and compulsive, aversion-resistant drinking. Much of this work uses mouse models, including strains selectively bred to prefer alcohol, and tests how drugs that block or alter these receptors affect drinking patterns. The research aims to understand the neural basis of alcohol use and identify potential biological targets for treatment.
