This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Xin-Ming Ma, department of Neuroscience.
Project Description: Exploring the mechanisms underlying depression and anxiety with a novel COP1 genetic mouse mode.
Depression is often co-morbid with anxiety. Currently available antidepressant drugs generate unsatisfactory outcomes because the mechanisms of depression are poorly understood. COP1 is a risk factor for depression and anxiety, its protein is found in the brain areas associated with depression and anxiety. This study is to find whether COP1 deficit or overdose in the brain causes depression in a COP1 genetic mouse model. The results will enhance our understanding of mechanisms underlying depression and anxiety.
