Hello!

I'm Amelia, a senior Psychology major, German minor, NBS concentrator from Haverford. I'm in the process right now of interviewing at and deciding on PhD programs in Behavioral Neuroscience (both in Psychology departments and Neuroscience departments). After graduate school I am undecided as to what I would like to do, but know that I am interested in doing research as a career.

In general terms I'm interested in the neural mechanisms of behavior, the influence of chemicals on neuropsychological function, and pain perception. I would like to be able to use both animal models and clinical human populations as subjects to get a better overall understanding of the mechanisms of behavior. I have done research with both populations, and I think that to find 'true' results they must both be taken into consideration.

This class will be a great forum to discuss ethical concerns, future promising research, and the role of neuroscience in the modern world.
