Circuit basis of social behavior decision-making in a subcortical network
Project Summary/Abstract This proposal responds to an FOA (RFA-NS-18-030) calling for 1) “novel approaches to understand neural circuitry associated with well-defined social behaviors;” 2) Distributed circuits that contribute to the coordination of motivational states and reward behavior;” 3) “Empirical and analytical approaches to understand how behavioral states are emergent properties of the interaction of neurons, circuits and networks.” The study of subcortical circuits that control conserved, naturalistic behaviors is crucial to understanding brain function. We aim to understand how dynamic interactions between different circuit nodes in the Hypothalamic-Extended Amygdala Decision…
