Studying sex differences in opioid addiction pathways and mechanisms may help scientists understand the neural circuitry underlying opioid addiction, leading to future treatments. In this webinar, brought to you by Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Teresa Milner will describe how chronic stress alters gene expression during opioid-associated learning in male and female rats. Topics to be covered - How chronic stress alters mRNA expression of opioid markers in the hippocampus - Sex differences in response to opioid-associated gene expression **Speaker Information:** **  ![Teresa\_Milner\_headshot circle 2](https://promo.drugdiscoverynews.com/hs-fs/hubfs/December%2016th%20webinar/Teresa_Milner_headshot%20circle%202.png?width=143&name=Teresa_Milner_headshot%20circle%202.png)** Teresa A.
