Summary
In mice and humans loss-of-function of the steroid sulfatase (STS) enzyme results in inattention but enhanced motor response inhibition; we aim to understand the neurobiology underlying this dissociation using a new mouse model. The project will develop behavioural neuroscience research skills, will have direct clinical relevance to X-linked ichthyosis (STS deficiency), and will signpost mechanisms associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder subtypes.
