Funding
- Investigating the role of co-transmission in feeding circuitry - #20PRE35040011
- $62,032.00 (01/01/2020 - 12/31/2021) Grant funding from American Heart Association
- In these studies, I will mark, trace, and manipulate basal forebrain neurons that release both acetylcholine and GABA to elucidate their function in normal mouse brain physiology.
