A novel G-Protein Coupled Receptor-based memory process mediating the cognitive control of action. [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Deficits in the cognitive control of action are observed in a number of neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions. We have found evidence of a novel neuronal mechanism in the striatum that mediates a key memory process associated with cognitive control that we will explore using manipulations of the striatum and of its afferents in the amygdala and midline thalamus and that, if successful, we provide novel targets for treatment of what is currently a much neglected condition.
