Project Details
Description
Using virally mediated gene expression, Dr. Parnaudeau will silence mediodorsal thalamus (a source of excitatory input to the prefrontal cortex) neurons in adolescent mice and assess for the morphology and the activity of prefrontal interneurons in adult mice. Analysis of behavioral deficit will also be performed. This work should lead to a better understanding of the circuits involved in cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and help to find new treatments.
