Proyectos de Ciencias de la Vida

Modulación del sistema de oxitocina en un modelo murino de trastorno del espectro autista (TEA)

Programa específico: Fundación para la Investigación del Cerebro y la Conducta (subvenciones NARSAD para jóvenes investigadores)
UPV/EHU: Centro de acogida
IP UPV/EHU: Olga Peñagarikano

Inicio del proyecto: 15/01/2016
Fin del proyecto: 14/01/2018

Breve descripción:
Se necesitan tratamientos efectivos para los déficits sociales en el TEA. Dirigirse al sistema OXT central tiene un potencial terapéutico considerable para mejorar los déficits sociales no solo del TEA sino también de una serie de enfermedades psiquiátricas caracterizadas por deficiencias sociales. Este proyecto proporcionará información sobre cómo la disfunción de OXT afecta a otros neurotransmisores en circuitos de interacción conocidos en relación con el comportamiento social, con el objetivo de identificar otros sistemas diana. Además, el estudio de la interacción del desarrollo posnatal temprano con factores ambientales puede arrojar luz sobre nuevas estrategias terapéuticas (por ejemplo, estimulación sensorial temprana) para mejorar la función social.
