The Moore laboratory uses rodent and non-human primate preparations to model potential pathogenic mechanisms and treatment targets in schizophrenia and affective disorders. Specifically we focus on neurobehavioral systems, relating structural neuropathology to neural circuit function and, ultimately to behavior.
