Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health studying the role of developmental serotonin in prefrontal cortex interneuron excitability and cognitive behavior, led by Amanda Anqueira at Columbia University Health Sciences.
Description
The project involves research on the impact of serotonin on prefrontal cortex interneurons and cognitive behavior. It aims to elucidate mechanisms contributing to cognitive behavior development and identify early risk factors of mental illness. The project involves electrophysiology, optogenetics, fiber photometry, and chemogenetics, focusing on developmental periods P14-P32 in mice. The project duration is from September 1, 2024, to February 28, 2027.
