Cerebellar Fastigial Motor and Non-motor Circuits
Project Summary DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to provide new information about the specific brain circuits which enable us to regulate our posture, movements, and arousal levels when we are exposed to unexpected stimuli or potentially threatening conditions. Several psychiatric and neurological disorders are associated with impairments in motor tone and arousal regulation which manifest as sensory hypersensitivity, excessive startle reactivity, and increased anxiety.
