The research team of Prof. Kelly Tan investigates the role of diverse basal ganglia sub-circuits participating in specific motor and cognitive tasks in mice. To do so, we combine in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology as well as behavioral assays, with tools covering anatomical mapping, pharmacology and optogenetics. Several cre-transgenic mouse lines are use in order to selectively manipulate one sub-circuit at a time in physiological and pathological conditions (Parkinson’s disease).
