Eric Augier Assistant Professor Assistant Lecturer at Center for Social and Affective Neuroscience (CSAN).
The Heilig Translational Psychiatry Lab: Preclinical group We use animal models to discover molecular and neural mechanisms that cause a progression into alcohol addiction, and to identify novel targets for pharmacological addiction treatments.

Mechanism behind compulsive alcohol use revealed A small group of nerve cells in the brain determines whether an individual continues to consume alcohol even when it has negative consequences. The scientists have identified a mechanism that may be a suitable target for treatment by medication. Mechanism behind alcohol addiction found Changes in a brain signalling system contribute to the development of alcohol addiction-like behaviour in rats, according to a new study led by researchers at LiU. The findings are published in Science and indicate a similar mechanism in humans.
Center for Social and Affective Neuroscience - CSAN Center for Social and Affective Neuroscience (CSAN) integrates knowledge and methodology from different areas of basic and clinical neuroscience. Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences What characterizes the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) is the wide breadth of research and education. BKV is one of the largest departments at LiU with affiliation mainly to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
