‘I’m too freaked out to hear you!’ How early-life stress affects auditory perception and the brain
Dr. Merri Rosen, Kate Hardy, Matthew Sunthimer (NEOMED)
Current Project We are looking for a student to assist in testing gerbils on behavioral tasks to measure their auditory perception and learning abilities, and quantify animal behavior using video analysis
Students will:
Receive training in experimental techniques used widely across research fields in biology and neuroscience
Learn how to apply critical thinking to big problems in neuroscience
Opportunities to attend weekly journal clubs on Auditory Neuroscience in the Hearing Research Group at NEOMED, and related seminars given by neuroscience faculty from around the world
