Spring 2023: The Role of Hippocampal Interneurons in Avoidance Learning

Affiliations: DeBakey Executive Research Leadership Program
Project Leader: Alwood, Matthew
matthewalwood@tamu.edu
Psychological & Brain Sciences
Faculty Mentor: Justin M. Moscarello, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
6
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Provided the data collected is sufficient to warrant a conference presentation, students will have the option of presenting. Additionally, students may be invited to continue working with the lab in subsequent semesters
Team Needs:
Students should have a strong interest in research and not be afraid of working with rats. Good communication skills and a desire to learn about the research process as well as the techniques used in the lab are also very important
Description:
Student researchers will use immunohistochemistry, chemogenetics, and behavioral manipulations to investigate the role GABAergic interneurons in the rat hippocampus play in unsignaled active avoidance learning
