Adam Large, PhD
AB, Biology, University of Chicago PhD, Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh Adam's research focused on the microcircuitry of piriform cortex, specifically mapping out the inhibitory connections between the many interneuron subtypes within the anterior piriform through optogenetics and ex vivo whole cell recordings. He investigated how inhibitory connections can modulate activity, through Targeted Recombination of Active Populations (TRAP) – a transgenic technology with a activity and drug dependent expression of a reporter gene. Adam successfully defended his thesis in April 2017 with three manuscripts and many more contributions to future lab studies. Congratulations on a job well done!
Adam went on to postdoctoral position at U. Wisconsin |

Martha Canto-Bustos, PhD.
Martha's research focused on long term synaptic plasticity in the piriform and orbitofrontal cortices. She was the lead experimentalist on three projects within the laboratory. One is pubilished and two are in preparation. She also took the initiative to form collaborations outside the lab. Her work has been foundational for the laboratory and the field as a whole. She is a leader and a mentor and wonderful person to work with. We will miss her and wish her all the success she deserves in her future endeavors. |
