Grant Activity:
Role of shifting thalamostriatal networks in action refinement
Purpose:
This project aims to determine the changes occurring in specific brain circuits when automatic behaviours are established. Ability to acquire new skills depends on the dynamic reorganisation of particular neural networks across brain territories throughout training. This project seeks to investigate how the thalamus-to-striatum pathway, a neural circuit that is central to motor control, progressively adjusts its activity as animals automatise their actions. The project will combine behavioural designs with the latest neuroscience techniques for tracing, functional mapping and manipulation of specific neural circuits in behaving mice. The outcomes of this project will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the refinement of action at the systems level, which is critical for performance and professional dexterity.
