Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to investigate the brain-immune axis in neuropsychiatric disease, particularly in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies.
Description
This project studies how the brain vasculature interacts with the immune system to impact the brain and behavior during development and in response to environmental factors, focusing on 22q11.2 deletion syndrome as a model for neuropsychiatric disorders. The research aims to understand and correct abnormalities in the brain-immune axis to treat behavioral deficits.
