Research Associate I
Before graduating from Northeastern University in May 2020 with a BS in behavioral neuroscience, James was involved in research studying sleep, memory and pharmacology using both neuroimaging and electrophysiological approaches. His undergraduate thesis was on the neurological and behavioral effects of chronic cannabis inhalation in mice using multimodal MRI. At the Stanley Center, James was using ex vivo brain slice electrophysiology to investigate the role of T-type calcium channels in learning and memory as well as using brain slice ephys assays to evaluate novel therapeutics targeting these calcium channels for potential use in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses.
