Manuscript accepted for publication in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience

The manuscript, "Leptin protects against the development and expression of cocaine addiction-like behavior in heterogeneous stock rats", has been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. This study examines the the effect differing bodyweight and blood leptin levels on the vulnerability to addiction like behavior and the impact of exogenous leptin to cocaine seeking in a large heterogenous rat population. Dr. Abraham Palmer and current Palmer lab member, Clara Ortez, are coauthors along with several others. See pre-print here.
