Synaptic plasticity/dysplasticity, process memory and item memory in rodent models of mental dysfunction
Published in Schizophrenia Research, 2018
This is a review paper that I contributed to as an undergraduate student at New York University. In this paper, we propose a model of how different plasticity mechanisms are altered in different rodent models of schizophrenia, and describe why cognitive experience may be beneficial in one model but not in another.

Hippocampal-Prefrontal Connectivity Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic Predicts Stress Reactivity
Published in Biological Psychiatry Global Open Science, 2021
In this paper, we leveraged prospective data collected prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to understand how individual connectivity patterns varied with levels of anxiety and worry about the pandemic. We found that more adult-like connectivity between the vmPFC and pHPC was associated with greater worry during the pandemic in adolescents.

Development of frontal GABA and glutamate supports excitation/inhibition balance from adolescence into adulthood
Published in Progress in Neurobiology, 2022
In this paper, we use 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging in a sample of 144 adolescents and young adults to determine how glutamate and GABA develop through adolescence.

Impact of stress on excitatory and inhibitory markers of adolescent cognitive critical period plasticity
Published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023
In this narrative review paper that I wrote for my comprehensive examination, we propose a model of how stressful experiences during adolescence can impact developmental trajectories of excitatory and inhibitory function. We consider acute and chronic dimensions of stress, and contextualize these experiences within the context of adolescence as a developmental critical period for cognitive function.
