Samantha La Rosa

Master Student

I am a Master’s student in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience, under the supervision of Dr. Mark P. Brandon. I completed my undergraduate thesis in the Brandon Lab, working on the evolving role of the hippocampus during learning of a cue-location task. To this end, I built functions in order to more easily visualize and analyze 2-photon calcium imaging and behavioral data. My current project is on a computational model of the head direction system in mice. My aim is to integrate new data from a cue rotation task, in order to elucidate the signal for uncertainty in the brain. Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading and spending time with my dogs Charlie & Charlie, and my horse Cam.
