Project Details
Description
Neurons born in adulthood in the hippocampus can affect the neuroendocrine response to stress and alter behavior. In this proposal, Dr. Dranovsky will generate genetically modified animals in which adult-born hippocampal neurons do not effectively integrate into pre-existing hippocampal circuits. Through behavioral tests to model anxiety and depressive behaviors, he will compare behavior at the baseline with behavior following exposure to stress.
