Description:
|
Beginning in Spring, 2024, research assistants will be performing operant self-administration assessments for alcohol-seeking in adult mice with preconception paternal alcohol exposure and/or prenatal maternal alcohol exposure. Recruited students can further engage in tissue dissections and assessments, depending upon their comfort and desired contributions to the project. Students may also engage in analysis of RNAseq data collected from a recently completed project. |
