Always a pleasure to share our work Looking forward to the next CSAN retreat!

How unlucky can you be when after getting self administration boxes to be renovated someone had taken them for trash and destroyed it 1h before sending back to the animal facility. That's how on Friday we lost 6 out of our 16 SA boxes.

Paper of the week: excellent Neuropsychopharmacology paper of Heilig Lab (1st au Esi Domi) on the role of central amygdala PKCdelta-expressing cells in the effect of the GABAB receptor agonist baclofen on punishment-resistant alcohol self-administration in rats pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36739350/

Happy to share our protocol on volitional social reward & choice in mice! A step-by-step guide to building or 3D printing social boxes and tips for studying operant social reward in mice!!

How does addiction actually affect free will? my latest nytimes.com/2023/04/24/opi…

So many people from so many different backgrounds having so much fun together! This is #Science !! What a #retreat -Markus

Finally we have our own webpage for our lab on the LiU website. You can check it out to see more about our research liu.se/en/research/cs…

Don't miss our PI's poster today at #RSA2023 on sex differences in alcohol choice.

Today our PI Eric Augier appears on TV to talk about one of our work on alcohol addiction. For non swedish speaker his intervention is probably the only part you might understand. svtplay.se/video/jwq3YVA/…

Our director Markus Heilig and CSAN researchers Eric Augier The Augier Lab and Irene Perini Irene Perini discuss their work on #alcohol #addiction on the second episode of the mini-series "Alkoholexperimenten" on "Vetenskapens Värld". svtplay.se/video/jwq3YVA/…

Poster session done at Eur Behav Pharm Soc. . As usual, plenty of nice feedback and great discussions.

📜We're happy to share our most recent publication! 📜 Here, Asmae Lguensat @ALguensat and Andrea Coppola nicely summarized and discussed the usefulness of pre-clinical models to study alcohol use disorder. Link to the publication: link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Congratulation to our PI to get the project grant this year. 🎉

After struggling with FedEx to get our posters done we managed to get them early enough to present them.

Come visit us this afternoon on poster board OO7, OO8 and OO9 to see our last data on oxycodone and cocaine. #sfn23

Come visit our posters this afternoon, board OO7 to OO9. #SFN23

It's the BEST time of year - time for all you preclinical scientists to nominate yourselves for publishing NULL FINDINGS - via ECNP ecnp.eu/research-innov… You'll win travel to the next meeting - in MILAN - & present your NULL results there 🤩🤩🤩✨

I am surely not very objective, but the people at the 2024 GRC on the neurobiology of addiction are awesome 🥰
