Final year PhD student, Brendan Gillespie, is the first author of a paper accepted in Neuroscience and Biobehavioural Reviews.
This is a systematic review of the impact of maternal infection during pregnancy on the developing inhibitory (GABAergic) neurons of the infant.
Brendan is a translational and clinical researcher working under the supervision of Rachel Hill and Suresh Sundram in the Department of Psychiatry, Brendan’s research is focused on understanding how infections in pregnancy impact early brain development and contributes to the development of autism and schizophrenia later in life. Brendan has performed a variety of behavioural assessments in rodents considered relevant to both conditions, and has attempted to link these behavioural changes to differences within the brain using a range of biochemical techniques.
Great job, Brendan!
