Congratulations to Mitch Roitman on his NIH Grant!
Congratulations to Mitch Roitman who was just awarded a NIH R21 grant entitled “Phasic dopamine in negative reinforcement driven by internal state”. The project will investigate if the satisfaction of physiological need drives dopamine negative reinforcement signals – which, in turn, promote approach and consumption. The results will directly address how physiological need (hunger, thirst, sodium appetite) confers risk for relapse through recruitment of dopamine signaling.
