We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Cocaine Effects On Norepinephrine in Amygdala @ Thomas Jefferson University
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Anxiety has been pointed to as the key symptom of the cocaine withdrawal syndrome in human addicts and is considered to be one of the most important factors in precipitating relapse to chronic cocaine abuse (Sarnyai et al., 1995). Corticotropin releasing factor has been implicated in mediating the "anxiety-like" behavior that is observed during the initial phase of cocaine abstinence (Sarnyai et al., 1995) and stress induced relapse to cocaine-conditioned place preference (Lu et al., 2001). In addition, it has been previously determined that chronic cocaine self-administration upregulates norepinephrine transporter in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), an area rich in noradrenergic fibers, indicating that the BNST may play a role in cocaine withdrawal and the stress-related reinstatement of cocaine self-administration following cocaine abstinence (Macey et al., 2003). The guiding hypothesis for this proposal is that the "anxiety-like" behavior that is observed during cocaine abstinence (Sarnyai et al., 1995) and the stress-induced relapse to cocaine use (Lu et al., 2001) may be mediated by the effects of cocaine on noradrenergic circuits originating from brainstem nuclei (e.g. locus coeruleus) to the amygdala.
