DR Musa Iyiola Ajibola

I obtained my BS and MS degrees in Anatomy from the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. In 2015, I received the scholarship from the interdisciplinary TIGP PhD program. My curiosity for how neural circuitry controls human behaviours drives me to join Lien lab. Currently I am studying the neuronal network in the hippocampus in relation to learning and memory.
