Title
Role of the subthalamic nucleus and its connections in addiction and social disorders
Project Summary
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is the main current surgical target for the deep brain stimulation treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. The consequences of its manipulation can be diverse. We are interested in assessing the consequences of STN manipulations on motivation and addiction, but also on social processes in rats.
