Award for research on prefrontal CRF neurons and their role in goal-directed behavior, funded by NIH for $614,581 in fiscal year 2026.
Description
The project focuses on neural mechanisms involved in the cognitive actions of prefrontal corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neurons. It involves multidisciplinary approaches including chemogenetics, circuit analysis, and neural coding. The project aims to provide insights into PFC-dependent cognition and potential treatment strategies for related dysfunctions.
