Advancements at NIDA Intramural Research Program: Innovations in Obesity, Imaging, and Parkinson's

The NIDA Intramural Research Program (IRP) showcases significant advancements in research initiatives during 2004-2005. Highlights include a focus on obesity and food addiction, utilizing fMRI imaging, and a dedicated teen obesity research program. The Human Research Program has fostered collaborations with the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center to address co-morbidities and enhance recruitment strategies. Noteworthy developments also include operationalization of a 9.4T animal magnet and a new Parkinson's disease model based on mitochondrial dysfunction. Opportunities for cross-collaboration with other NIH institutes are also emerging.
