Alexandra Scott is awarded a MnDRIVE Neuromodulation Research Fellowship

Graduate student Ally Scott was awarded a MnDRIVE Neuromodulation Research Fellowship to study the role of “Ventral Pallidal GABAergic Projections to Lateral Hypothalamus in Cue-Elicited Reward Seeking and Eating Behavior.” Her project uses chemogenetic neuromodulation with designer receptors to examine if GABAergic ventral pallidal neurons and their projections to the lateral hypothalamus stimulate or inhibit food intake. More information can be found on the MnDRIVE website.

Congratulations Ally!!!
