Then, watch this video on opioid addiction and respond to the following the items, either as an uploaded document file or text response: Links to an external site.
1) The video shows an experiment that modeled addiction in a mouse. Articulate further questions that scientists could test to learn more about addiction and the effects of opioids on the body. Consider the research designs and jargon covered during chapter 1.
2) How might the treatment of addiction benefit from an understanding of these feedback mechanisms?
3) In what ways does having fewer dopamine receptors affect behavior?
4) Opioid addiction is a major societal problem that affects entire communities, not just individuals. Some aspects of this complex problem that need to be addressed include treating addiction, helping those in recovery get jobs and find homes, and stopping the production and distribution of the drugs. Choose one aspect of the problem and identify the factors that should be considered—including the different groups that need to be involved—when designing a solution.
