This award supports a research project investigating how genetic variation influences neural circuit properties and learning behaviors, focusing on goal-directed learning differences in health and disease, including ASD and IDs, using advanced genetic and neurobiological methods.
Description
Research project to understand the neurobiology of individual heritable differences in learning by investigating how genetic variation alters gene expression in specific cell types and neural circuit function in individual learning, including studies on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disabilities using mouse models.
