The Molecular and Genetic Basis of Striatal Function in Health and Disease
The striatum plays a central role in motivated behavior, learning, and movement. Converging evidence suggests that genetic factors influence the expression of these behaviors and associated risk for psychiatric illness. This symposium will focus on the study of molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying striatal functions and their relevance to psychopathology.
