Brain-spanning and scale-crossing circuitry mediating drive function and dysfunction
This proposal is designed to provide circuit-dynamics understanding of anhedonia, a psychiatric symptom domain of enormous clinical significance that is well-suited for study in laboratory animals. This work, alongside our recently-developed methods for obtaining brainwide cellular-resolution activity readout and control, has created a powerful and fortuitous alignment enabling us to bridge local and global neuronal dynamics, and to identify brain-spanning circuitry mediating behavioral drives, conflicts, and resolutions. In Aim 1, we identify single-cell-resolved orbitofrontal (OFC) dynamics underlying distinct consummatory behaviors. We have developed a temporally-precise…
