  In Dr. Judith Walters lab at the National Institutes of Health

  I studied the effects of ketamine

  locomotion

  and dopamine D4 receptor activation on ongoing neural oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex and mediodorsal thalamus. I also learned how to implant chronic electrodes in rats

  train rats to walk in circular treadmills

  administer drugs

  analyze data

  sort single neurons and write scripts in MATLAB and Spike 2. I published one first-author publication during this time

  but in doing so I began a collaboration between the Walters and Buonanno lab that had not existed before.\n\nIn Dr. Andres Buonanno's lab

  I studied the effects of dopamine on circuit activity in the hippocampus using patch-clamp electrophysiology. I also learned how to make brain slices from living tissue

  record physiological currents

  fix and stain tissue and perform microscopy.
