The award funds research on neuronal circuits in zebrafish to study sensory processing, behavioral states, and neurodevelopmental disorders, including models for schizophrenia and Timothy syndrome, with goals to understand mechanisms and identify therapeutic approaches.
Description
This project aims to understand central mechanisms controlling sensory processing, functional mapping of neuronal architecture mediating short-term behavioral states, and analysis of zebrafish models of neurodevelopmental disorders. It involves genetic and behavioral studies in zebrafish to provide insights into neurological conditions and potential therapeutic strategies.
