This will build on amazing recent work by @melgaby.bsky.social and others, looking at how planning algorithms are encoded in prefrontal cortex circuits: https://bsky.app/profile/melgaby.bsky.social/post/3lbrk53ud522a

We want to see whether/how these algorithms are disrupted in people with psychosis, in mouse models, and in neural networks - and whether we can permanently prevent this disruption (in 🐭, at first) by giving a drug briefly during adolescence. This would be extremely exciting if so!

Amazing Rick! This is awesome.

Which drug?

drrickadams.bsky.social•67 days ago

There will be 3 post doc (doing 🐭, 👩‍🦰 or 💻 projects) and 2 RA/PhD positions too so if you are interested please get in touch. We also have great collaborators including @neilburgess10.bsky.social, @behrenstimb.bsky.social, @mgarvert.bsky.social, @jcrwhittington.bsky.social and @lenapl.bsky.social

As a parent of a young adult with psychosis who cannot plan or imagine herself in the future at all, I am delighted to hear you've got funding for this ground breaking work. Being trapped in the eternal now is not any kind of enlightenment, far from it. I wish you every success!

Many thanks Jenny
