Thank you!!

This is particularly exciting, as it represents my first student’s first first author publication (a lot of firsts!).

Aberrant Medial Prefrontal Cortex Activity and Flexible Behavior in the TgF344-AD Rat Model of Alzheimer’s Disease Executive dysfunction can precede the accumulation of canonical neuropathological markers and severe dementia in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients often characterized by memory changes. Deficits in ex...

What an amazing tribute to Dr. Karen Gale’s legacy. It’s been almost 20 years since I met her at SfN and she “karened” me into the IPN (Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience) at Georgetown. I owe so much to Karen (she also “karened”in my future husband!), and I’m so grateful for mentorship.
