Abstract

Hallucinations are a core symptom of psychotic disorders and have traditionally been difficult to study biologically. We developed a new behavioral computational approach to measure hallucinations-like perception in humans and mice alike. Using targeted neural circuit manipulations, we identified a causal role for striatal dopamine in mediating hallucination-like perception. Building on this, we currently investigate the neural and immunological upstream regulators of these dopaminergic circuits with the goal to identify new biological treatment targets for psychosis
