Connecting Circuits: From Genes to Molecules to Cells

The Connecting circuits: from genes to molecules to cells workgroup will focus on generating, implementing, or improving model systems used to study neural circuits implicated in mental health diseases. The overarching goal of this workgroup is to elucidate new cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neural circuitry using different model systems. Model systems include but not limited to mouse, zebrafish, drosophila, iPSCs, organoids, and computational models.
