The objective of my project was to characterize the morphology of these different neuron types and investigate potential differences in the binding affinity of their respective receptor subtypes.

Responsible for processing mouse brain slices, brightfield microscopy visualization and neuron morphology reconstructionProject details — Pyramidal neurons within layer 5 of the mPFC can be characterized as regular-firing or burst-firing based on their intrinsic electrophysiological properties. The objective of my project was to identify the morphological differences in biocytin labelled regular-firing and burst-firing neurons in young postnatal mice of both sexes.

Responsible for setting up a new neuron reconstruction software and evaluating for its functionality, brightfield microscopy visualization, polymerase chain reaction, and neuron morphology reconstructionProject details — ACh receptors have been shown to change in the prefrontal cortex during mouse postnatal development. This project looks to address the mechanism of this change through measuring the expression of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors within the mouse brain at different… Show more Responsible for setting up a new neuron reconstruction software and evaluating for its functionality, brightfield microscopy visualization, polymerase chain reaction, and neuron morphology reconstructionProject details — ACh receptors have been shown to change in the prefrontal cortex during mouse postnatal development.
