Lab description

Anxiety disorders include four major classes of psychiatric diseases and represent the most prevalent psychiatric conditions. Despite the high personal and societal costs of anxiety disorders, few therapeutic targets have been identified for the treatment of anxiety, and available treatments have limitations. Human imaging has identified that the activity of the insular cortex (insula) is altered in patients with anxiety disorders. Our research program aims at identifying cellular, synaptic and molecular alterations of circuits of the insular cortex in animal models of anxiety disorders, unsing an interdisciplinary approach.
