Current Research and Funding:

• Principal investigator: Analysis of the Dopamine System in Rett syndrome, supported by NIH/NINDS. In this research, Dr. Neul is attempting to dissect the dopamine system in a mouse model of Rett syndrome using pharmacological, genetic and biochemical approaches. Dr. Neul hopes this work will provide insight into the underlying pathophysiology of the movement abnormalities in Rett syndrome and lead to new targets for therapeutic intervention.
