Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the role of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus in stress adaptation and habituation, with implications for understanding mood and anxiety disorders.
Description
The project aims to determine the contribution of the rostral region of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (rPH) in stress adaptation, specifically stress habituation to repeated homotypic stressors. It investigates the role of rPH in acquisition of stress habituation and modifications in intrinsic rPH neural activity due to repeated stress, including sex differences in stress adaptation.
