Research project funded by NIMH to study oxytocin receptor signaling in neurons, focusing on molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets for neuropsychiatric disorders.
Description
The project aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms of oxytocin receptor desensitization and its behavioral implications. The research involves genetic modification using CRISPR-Cas9 and proteomics analysis. The goal is to identify targets for therapeutic development for social deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders.
