NIH funded research project investigating how retinal inputs to the basal forebrain modulate behavior through neural circuits influenced by light.
Description
This NIH grant project aims to identify retinal inputs to the basal forebrain and how they influence behavior, using circuit tracing and electrophysiology. The research explores how light acutely modulates the basal forebrain to influence behaviors such as attention, arousal, and sleep.
