Proud! A very large sample of rats, modeling the diversity of the human population, to study individual differences in vulnerability or resilience to develop cocaine addiction-like behaviors. Tissues collected and available for follow-up (https://t.co/BBvjNknWp6), GWAS ongoing...

#eNeuro: To address the common hurdle of obtaining longitudinal samples in addiction research, @PsychiatryUcsd researchers have created two free, unique biobanks containing >20,000 samples collected before, during, and after chronic drug use in rats.

A precious gift to the community - merci!
The cocaine and oxycodone biobanks offer genetically and behaviorally characterized, longitudinally, and cross-sectionally diverse samples to researchers free of charge.
