Title: Exploring the Neural Circuitry of Appetite Regulation: The Role of the Central Amygdala (CeA) and Parasubthalamic Nucleus (PSTN)
Appetite regulation is a multifaceted process involving intricate brain networks. This project seeks to dissect the neural circuits underlying appetite regulation, focusing on the connection between the central amygdala (CeA) and the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN). We use viral tracing, histology, behavior, and electrophysiology to answer the questions related. The studies will be conducted in mice.
Project supervisor: Dr. Christian Peters
Skills:
- Neuroscience background.
- Previous work with mice at any level (histology, behaviour, or electrophysiology for example).
