What I do in the lab: Hello! I am currently working on how maternal separation effects spatial-working memory on the radial arm maze task. Next semester, I am hoping to compare the effects of maternal separation and drug effects of d-amphetamine to investigate the drug and environmental causes and effects of schizophrenia.
