The Behavioral
Core was established by the Gladstone Institute of
Neurological Disease to analyze neurobehavioral functions, such as
motor coordination or learning and memory, in rodent models of human
neurological diseases. Understanding the molecular pathways that impair
such functions in experimental models can provide important insights
into clinically relevant disease processes as well as into basic
functions of the nervous system.
Through collaborative
interactions and consultations, the core serves scientists in all three
Gladstone Institutes and in various departments of the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF). Together with colleagues in clinical
programs, we are investigating specific links between impairments in
patients with neurological disorders and in rodent models simulating
these conditions. These studies aim to promote the development of
suitable tests and novel treatment strategies to improve cognition and
other neural functions in patients suffering from devastating
neurological diseases.
