Dopamine\, acetylcholine and serotonin play key roles in the basal gangl ia and nucleus accumbens\, controlling a variety of motivated behaviors in cluding decision-making\, action selection\, motor skill learning\, habit formation and reward processing. The lab uses a combination of electrophys iology\, 2-photon imaging\, optogenetics\, genetically encoded optical sen sors\, electrochemistry\, in vivo fiber photometry and behavioral approach es to study how transmission mediated by these neuromodulators are encoded within mesolimbic and nigrostriatal circuits. By identifying the mechanis ms regulating signaling Ford's lab aims to identify the disruptions in the se systems that underlie psychiatric disorders such as drug addiction and schizophrenia and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.\n DTSTART:20240917T200000Z DTEND:20240917T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Encoding Dopamine Signals in Striatal Circui ts URL:/neuro/fr/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-enc oding-dopamine-signals-striatal-circuits-358372 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
