Research

Research Interests

Investigating the effect of lithium on dopamine signalling through glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β)
The aim of this study is to further our understanding of the mechanism of action of the mood stabiliser lithium. Two neurobiological effects of the mood stabiliser lithium which may be relevant to its therapeutic mechanism of action are attenuation of dopamine neurotransmission and inhibition of the intracellular signalling enzyme glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β). Recent reports that GSK-3β is involved dopamine receptor signalling suggest that these two neurobiological effects of lithium may be related. In this project we are investigating the effect of lithium on dopamine receptor signalling through GSK-3β.
