In Brief

Our laboratory is focused on studying:

​

(1)  The molecular mechanisms that regulate dopamine and acetylcholine release in the striatum.

​

(2) The cholinergic mechanisms involved in the development and expression of addictive behaviors to psychostimulants of the amphetamine family and L-DOPA-induced Dyskinesia.

​

(3) Structure-based drug design following the amphetamine therapeutic approach.
