Student Research at Duke

So, I’m excited because I finally know how to post pictures on this blog. So, in my lab, I am studying the D1 (direct) and D2 (indirect) pathways of the basal ganglia. I am looking at D1 and D2 fluorescent cells in the striatum using confocal microscopy. I achieve this by perfusing and fixing the mice with 4% PFA and then make brain slices 50 micrometers thick and mount them on slides. I have a few (I will take more) pictures of my lab.

This is me with my brain slices in the 24-well plates in the ice bucket. Behind and to the left of me is the vibratome slicing machine that we use.

This is me with my mouse. I am obviously enamored with the cute animal.
