Microbiome Dysbiosis and Stress Susceptibility
Examining how antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis alters microglial activation (Iba1) and increases susceptibility to stress, linking the gut-brain axis to neuroinflammation and stress response.
Gut-Brain Microbiome Dysbiosis Stress
Bioinformatic Profiling of the Striatal Response to mOFC Inhibition
Bioinformatic profiling of the striatal response to mOFC inhibition. This project utilizes gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of TRAP microarray datasets to cluster differentially expressed genes into functional groups and molecular targets, identifying how direct vs. indirect pathways respond to inhibited cortical activity.
