CTSI / CSORDA Pilot Awardees
With support form the CTSI, CSORDA funds four Research Projects that are highly interactive both thematically and technically use shared models, reagents and methodologies. Projects focus on different brain circuitry associated with reward/aversion and employ mouse genetics and behavioral analysis combined with electrophysiology, optogenetics, transcript analysis and brain imaging.
