I am a PhD student characterizing neurons that control reflexes. I have worked in a range of neurobiology labs studying cell regeneration in zebrafish, food intake in mice, and information processing in monkeys. These experiences help guide my writing and art.

Cuttlefish can learn with the brains they keep in their arms

With 500 million neurons dispersed throughout the body, some say they have 9 brains

Can slime molds remember?

Unique signals may propagate through the slime mold's tendrils when they reach food

A new molecule and an under-appreciated neuron have been implicated in Parkinson's disease

Researchers studying Parkinson’s disease pivot from the usual dopamine story and reveal a new mechanism underlying early motor deficits

A controversial new study shows how male rats can become pregnant and give birth

Scientists have debated whether the scientific progress justified the invasiveness of the procedure

An accidental experiment discovered new cells in cat brains and led to a Nobel Prize

Cats looking at dots inside a tent revealed the different eye cells that process movement and light
