Four major themes cover the research activities in Rémi Quirion's laboratory.

Christina Gianoulakis wants to elucidate the role of the endogenous opioid peptide systems in mediating the reinforcing effects of alcohol.

Work from Rémi Quirion's lab has helped to characterize the roles of cholinergic synapses in Alzheimer Disease, neuropeptide Y in depression and learning, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in pain and opioid tolerance.

The basic and clinical research is oriented towards the long-term consequences for the brain of early perinatal and neonatal exposure to stressors.
