Brian's work showing axons originating from cells in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis overlying the dorsal tier
subpopulation of dopamine cells (pink dots).
Congratulations to Brian Ho, a rising senior at the University of Rochester, who has been in the Fudge lab since January. Brian was the winner of a competition sponsored by Delta Sonic, that assists promising students with a cash scholarship. In our lab, Brian's work focuses on how brain regions involved in threat responses, such as the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and central amygdala nucleus, interact with specific dopamine neuron subpopulations.
