Biography
Dr. Paul Hoerbelt is Postdoctoral Scholar at Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. He have a strong interest in the biophysics and pharmacology of GABA type A receptors and how signaling at these receptors modulates brain circuitry. He primarily use optogenetics, electrophysiology, and rodent behavioral assays to address critical questions in these areas.
Research Interest
He is broadly interested in understanding how neuromodulatory systems (particularly those that use dopamine) govern long-term changes in neural signaling, anxiety behaviors, and reward-associated behaviors.
