Biography

Mia Ericson is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, leading research in the field of addiction biology.

Ericson investigates the impacts of various pharmacological treatments and environmental factors on addiction-related behaviors in rodent models. Some of her key studies examine the effects of GABA-rho receptors and the role of astrocytes in modulating neurotransmission during drug exposure and withdrawal. Throughout her career, Ericson has published extensively in high-impact journals, contributing to the understanding of neuroplasticity and addiction. She has collaborated on numerous projects that address how gender differences affect addiction and the neuroadaptive changes following prolonged substance use.
