This NIH grant supports research on how internal states affect learning and memory, focusing on ethanol intoxication in C. elegans and exploring neural circuits and drug effects on state-dependent learning.
Description
The project aims to develop a molecular understanding of how internal states modulate learning and memory, using a model of ethanol intoxication in C. elegans. The project will identify neural circuits involved in state-dependent learning and recall. The project will explore if other drugs besides ethanol can confer state-dependency. The project will assess the generalizability of state-dependent learning paradigms.
