Project Details
Description
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows promise for treating OCD, but optimal targets for stimulation have not been determined. Working with mice, Dr. Ahmari will apply optogenetics* to effect direct, precise stimulation of specific neuronal populations in the mouse brain. The goal is to optimize target selection for DBS use in humans so as to maximize symptom reduction and minimize side effects.
