Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience: Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, synaptic plasticity, hippocampus receptor subunits, genetics, learning and memory

Hannah Zikria-Hagemeier is a graduate student in the cognitive and behavioral neuroscience program. She works in the lab of Dr. Theodore Dumas where she studies the effects of hippocampal receptor subunits on the neuronal processes of learning and memory. She is currently researching the roles of immediate early genes and their interactions on the formation of hippocampus-dependent spatial memory.

Education

She received her bachelors degree in neuroscience and psychology from the George Washington University where she conducted research on clinical conditions, cognition and emotions, and neurodevelopmental conditions. She then conducted her post-bacc work at the Children’s national medical center where she conducted genetic research related to developmental conditions and helped to develop medical devices for improved therapeutics.
