Research project to study the role of pallidal neurons in motor inhibition and Parkinson’s disease, aiming to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Description
The proposed studies aim to determine how neurons in the external globus pallidus and their synaptic targets control motor output. The research involves surveying cellular, circuit, and behavioral alterations in an animal model of Parkinson’s disease to develop new therapeutic strategies.
