The Siegel lab is looking for pre-med/pre-grad undergraduate research assistants to help out with several ongoing research projects. Our lab investigates electrophysiological, behavioral, and molecular deficits in mouse models of Schizophrenia and Autism. Undergraduates would work under direct supervision of a MD/PhD graduate student or senior post doc and are expected to become highly independent. Time commitment of 10-20 hours/week which can be done for honors thesis, credit, or work study. Undergraduates would be expected to participate in and take lead on publication of work. Potential projects include:
- Developing a behavioral task to assess working memory in mouse models of schizophrenia, followed by drug testing
- Investigation of language lateralization in mice using electrophysiological recordings
- Characterizing electrophyiological activation of amygdalar activity during social behaviors of mice
- Development of auditory EEG tasks in mice to predict deficits observed observed in schizophrenia
