I am doing my PhD in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the area of neurophysiology. My work is mainly related to the modulatory changes that occur in thalamocortical synaptic transmission of the auditory cortex of the rat. I study the effects of acetylcholine as a neuromodulator of the auitory cortex as well. I am still deciding between academia or pursuing what I originally planned, which is to be a forensics investigator.
