Dr. Priya Rajasethupathy's lab at Rockefeller University focuses on understanding how the thalamus contributes to working memory, particularly in the context of deficits seen in disorders like ADHD and schizophrenia. The lab's research incorporates both chronic and acute molecular studies to explore the role of a newly identified receptor, Gpr12, in maintaining thalamo-cortical activity that underlies memory function. Ultimately, their work aims to uncover therapeutic targets to improve short-term memory capabilities in affected individuals.
