Project Details
Description
Dr. Saez will use optogenetics* in combination with neurophysiological and complex behavioral experiments to advance the study of prefrontal/amygdala interactions. He will elucidate how prefrontal input can regulate the responsivity of the amygdala, a key mechanism in maintaining normal adaptive emotional responses that likely becomes dysfunctional in many patients with psychiatric disorders.
