Miklos Toth

Toth is a neuroscientist whose laboratory investigates neuropsychiatric disease mechanisms using genetically modified mice to study anxiety, hyperactivity disorders, and behavioral abnormalities. His research examines genetic and environmental risk factors, including early adverse care, sedentary lifestyle, chronic societal stress, psychological trauma, and drug use. The lab explores how environmental stressors can trigger epigenetic changes linked to psychiatric conditions that persist across generations.
