Research summary

AI-generated

Mohammad Majidi studies how the brain changes during opioid (morphine) dependence and withdrawal, focusing on inflammation, memory, and gene expression in brain regions like the hippocampus, cerebellum, and striatum using rat models. Related work has also examined tau protein abnormalities involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. This research aims to understand the molecular pathways behind addiction-related brain changes and cognitive deficits, and to test natural compounds like alpha-pinene as potential treatments.
