Research project funded by NIH to study how melanin-concentrating hormone regulates olfactory function, involving molecular and behavioral methods, with potential implications for sensory dysfunction.
Description
The project aims to investigate the role of melanin-concentrating hormone in olfactory function regulation using molecular, biochemical, and behavioral techniques. The research focuses on neuropeptides, hypothalamic neurons, and olfactory pathways and may have implications for understanding sensory dysfunction in ciliopathy patients.
