 Project Summary  Wesley K. Kroeze, Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2001) of Case Western Reserve University, is characterizing genes that are regulated by drugs and medications that bind to the serotonin type 2A (5HT-2A) receptor. When brain cells are exposed to these drugs, they activate certain genes to produce proteins by a coordinated series of events known as transcription and translation. A powerful molecular biological technique will be used to demonstrate which genes are up- and down-regulated by these drugs. The knowledge to be gained from this study may help to better understand how antipsychotic and antidepressant medications function. Program Area: SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS\Schizophrenia |
