Abstract:听Ford's lab examines how neuromodulators are encoded in the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal systems and how circuit dysfunctions in these areas contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders. Dopamine, acetylcholine and serotonin play key roles in the basal ganglia and nucleus accumbens, controlling a variety of motivated behaviors including decision-making, action selection, motor skill learning, habit formation and reward processing. The lab uses a combination of electrophysiology, 2-photon imaging, optogenetics, genetically encoded optical sensors, electrochemistry, in vivo fiber photometry and behavioral approaches to study how transmission mediated by these neuromodulators are encoded within mesolimbic and nigrostriatal circuits. By identifying the mechanisms regulating signaling Ford's lab aims to identify the disruptions in these systems that underlie psychiatric disorders such as drug addiction and schizophrenia and neurological disorders such as Parkinson鈥檚 disease.

Christopher Ford

Chris Ford received his BS in Biology and his PhD in Neuroscience. He did his graduate work with Peter Smith at the University of Alberta examining how peptide transmitters regulate the expression and function of ion channels in the sympathetic nervous system. He did his postdoctoral work with John Williams in Portland at the Vollum Institute, OHSU where he first became interested in the mesolimbic dopamine system. In 2011, Chris moved to the shores of Lake Erie to start his own lab at Case Western Reserve University in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics.
