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 an immediate early gene and its interactions on the formation of hippocampus-dependent spatial memory.
Education
She completed her bachelors degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from the George Washington University with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience and a minor in mind-brain studies where she conducted research on medical conditions in the clinical setting, cognition and emotions in a psychology lab, and neuro developmental conditions in a neuro imaging lab. Following graduation she conducted her post-baccalaureate research at the Children’s National Medical Center on genetic benchwork pertaining to improving treatments for developmental condition and helped to develop a medical device for improved therapeutics now in clinical trials.
