Award for research on the role of activity-dependent transcription in navigational decision making, focusing on the Fos gene and neural circuit plasticity in the posterior parietal cortex.
Description
Research on activity-dependent transcription, specifically focusing on the Fos gene, in the context of navigational decision-making. The research aims to understand how Fos influences neural circuit plasticity in the posterior parietal cortex during navigation tasks. The project includes advanced molecular genetics, in vivo imaging, and behavioral neuroscience. The work supports the mission of NINDS to understand the brain and reduce neurological disorders.
