Perrine Lab at Wayne State University

The goal of our research is to better understand the neuronal circuitry and molecular mechanisms that underlie:

  • substance use disorders
  • posttraumatic stress disorder
  • traumatic brain injury and their co-occurrence

We use rodent models of these disorders, behavioral tasks, molecular techniques, and neuroimaging to identify the brain-behavior relationships that develop after exposure to drugs, traumatic stress and/or head trauma.
