Background:

Zac is a doctoral student in the Integrative Neuroscience program working with Jai Yu and Leslie Kay. Zac studied philosophy and the history of math and science at St. John’s College, Annapolis. 

Research Interests:

Zac is interested in the interactions between the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, and the role that those interactions play in learning and memory. Using electrophysiology and optogenetic perturbation he hopes to learn more about how brains solve problems.
