Internship to Understand Neuronal Circuits, Neuromodulators, and the Role of Bodily Signals in Brain Dynamics and Behavior

. I’m reaching out because I’m deeply interested in your lab’s work on neuronal circuits, neuromodulators, and the role of bodily signals in brain dynamics and behavior. I would be thrilled if I got the opportunity to intern, learn and be mentored in your lab from Mid-May to August 2025. I’ve gained experience in behavioral research and quantitative analysis as a Research Assistant in Dr. Heidi Kloos’ Cognitive Research Lab and will soon begin working with Dr. Williamson of UC College of Medicine on neuroimaging data analysis. I’m eager to apply these skills while learning advanced techniques such as optogenetics and computational modeling in your lab. I am also excited to take a Learning and Memory class this coming spring! I’d love the opportunity to contribute to your research and explore how fundamental neural circuit principles can be applied to improve the human condition. This ties to the cellular level of understanding neuroscience from a systems approach.
