Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health studying the role of developmental serotonin in prefrontal cortex interneuron excitability and cognitive behavior using advanced neuroscience techniques.
Description
The project focuses on the impact of serotonin on prefrontal cortex interneurons and cognitive behavior. The project involves electrophysiology, optogenetics, fiber photometry, and chemogenetics. The research aims to elucidate mechanisms affecting neural circuitry and identify early risk factors for mental illness.
