Award for research investigating early postnatal oxytocin signaling's role in cerebellar development and function in mice.
Description
This project aims to elucidate the impact of early postnatal oxytocin signaling on cerebellar development and function, using molecular, functional, and genetic approaches in mice. The study will investigate the timing of oxytocin receptor expression, its impact on GABAergic neurons, and long-term effects on synaptic plasticity.
