Thesis topic proposal

Development of novel behavioral pharmacological models for the study of major cognitive disorders in animal models and in humans

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: University of Pécs
biology
Doctoral School of Biology and Sportbiology

Thesis supervisor: István Hernádi
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Univ. Pécs, Faculty of Sciences and Szentágothai Research Center
Abbreviation of location of studies: UP

Description of the research topic:

The purpose of the research is to develop and pharmacologically validate novel test batteries to measure behavioral correlates of higher order neuropsychological processes and their pathologies (neurocognitive disorders, impulsivity, anxiety, depression, etc.). We aim to establish the underlying electrophysiological (EEG) correlates in humans and develop reliable disease models in animals. Finally, preclinical investigations will be carried out on the validated test batteries using novel therapeutic agents. Technical background: rodent and primate phenotyping, complex operant behavioral paradigms, reversible inactivation (in rats), in vivo cellular electrophysiology, EEG, human cognitive test batteries.
