Mr Peter Zhukovsky![]() University positionPhD student DepartmentsInstitutesBehavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute Home pageResearch ThemeInterestsMy reseach focuses on the neural and behavioural mechanisms of drug addiction. More specifically, I am interested in the role of compulsivity as an endophenotype pre-disposing animals to drug addiction. Currently I am using a behavioural task to rank animals based on their perseverative behaviour, to investigate the cellular structural differences in these animals prior to drug exposure. Experimental methods include behavioural testing, systemic pharmacology and cellular structural analysis using Golgi staining. ![]() No picture here please View image full-size (1152x648 pixels) Research Focus
