Current Lab Members

• 

  Lynandrea Mejia '20 (Spring 2017 - present) Prospective Neuroscience major. Lynandrea is working on the longitudinal fMRI project, looking at tutor song memory in developing male and female zebra finches.

• 

  Payal Arya (Summer 2017 - present) I completed my PhD from IISER PUNE, India, where I looked at protein interactions in cellular pathways activated upon DNA damage. I gradually moved into behavior neuroscience and started working on song initiation in Bengalese finches in IISER Pune. I had a short postdoc stint at NBRC, India, where I studied the role of dopamine receptors in song learning in Zebra finches before joining the Gobes lab. Currently I am a Postdoc in the lab and my interests lie in understanding tutor song memory formation in zebra finches using fMRI.

• 

  Rachel Woo '18 (Fall 2015 - present) Neuroscience major. Rachel has been working with electron microscopy images and 3D imaging software to reconstruct multiple synapse boutons to look into the role of en passant and terminaux boutons.

• 

  Alexa Pagliaro '18 (Spring 2015 - present) Neuroscience and Spanish major. Alexa is investigating the lateralization underlying memory formation in NCM using pharmacological inhibition techniques.
