Honours project analysing whole-brain calcium imaging data in Zebrafish that compared the functional differences between fish with distinct motor behaviour profiles that indicated trait differences in anxiety.- Behavioural profiling- 3D registration of all brains to a reference dataset- Identification of brain areas with differential neural activation.

Paris, Île-de-France, France

Identified novel cellular structures in electron microscopic images of the developing cerebellum - The tunnelling nanotubes previously only observed in cultured neurons, but not in vivo. Worked with 3DS Max to create visualisations of the volumetrically reconstructed cells.Won the best poster award at the concluding internship symposium.

Built Matlab tools for the analysis of the structural features of 3D mitral neuron reconstructions from electron microscope images of the olfactory bulb.
