Project Title: Adverse neonatal experience-induced dopamine deficit affects prefrontal cortex development
Principal Investigator: Antonios Stamatakis: Department of Nursing, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Project Duration: 3 years
Funding Source: 2nd Call for H.F.R.I. (Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation) Research Projects for the support of Faculty Members and Researchers

Short Description:This project investigates the developmental actions of dopamine on neuronal and glial cells in the prefrontal cortex, as well as its long-term effects on behavior. Emphasis is placed on how early-life adversity leads to dopamine deficits that disrupt normal brain maturation and may underlie behavioral dysfunctions later in life.
