November 6, 2018
2 p.m. - 3 p.m. PST
Session Description
More than 2 million people in the U.S. are now addicted to opioids. More than 100 die from related overdoses every day. Recent findings reveal that aspects of opioid addiction, including relapse, withdrawal and risk, can be successfully modeled in rats. These findings open the door to more research on addiction that can translate to humans with the promise of more effective preventions and treatments.
