"Introduction to CTNA
The
gap between basic research advances and new clinical insights and
treatments remains a critical obstacle to progress in the field of
alcoholism research. This translational neuroscience mission is the
enduring focus of the Centre for the Translational Neuroscience of
Alcoholism (CTNA). CTNA conducts groundbreaking molecular
neuroscience, molecular genetics, functional and chemical
neuroimaging, and psychopharmacology studies in the service of
providing new insights to bridge the gap between basic and clinical
research.
Mission
The
CTNA's mission is to promote the translation of basic neuroscience
advances into clinical neuroscience insights in the study of
alcoholism. The CTNA conducts interdisciplinary research by combining
neurochemical, physiological, and behavioural measurements within
studies.
Objectives
The
CTNA is designed to bridge the gap between the basic and clinical
neuroscience of alcoholism. Using cutting-edge interdisciplinary
research, the main objectives are:
- To understand how sensitivity to reward contributes to the vulnerability to alcoholism.
- To investigate the role of glutamate circuits to the vulnerability to alcoholism.
- To characterize the factors influencing the transition from vulnerability to habitual use.
- To develop and test novel treatments for alcoholism”
