Description

The project A08 aims to directly investigate the local reciprocal inhibitory interactions and synaptic plasticity between pre- and infralimbic cortx and their differential regulations by neuromodulators endocannabinoid, neuropeptide Y and neuropeptide S. Moreover the functional significance of the inhibitory network in prefrontal cortex for fear-related behavior will be studied.
