10 Students Traveling to Neuroscience Conference
10 MSUM undergraduate students will be presenting the research they have been doing with Biosciences professor Dr. Adam Stocker at the MidBrains neuroscience conference in Sioux Falls, SD on Saturday October 24th. Bioscience majors Aisha Chovuchovu, Fatmata Kamara, Deelan Hamdi, Adonis Kennedy, Izzy Rausch, Colton Tapson, and Olani Tesgara; BCBT major Eyerusalem Kinfe; Nursing major Gloria Mckeown; and BCBT/Psychology double major Guzoro Adumah, will be presenting multiple posters detailing their research at the conference. The research to be presented will detail their work on behavioral and thalamic changes that occur during the critical period in genetically altered Emx2 mice, to help improve our understanding of how the mammalian brain develops.
