Guthrie
E-mail:martingu@andromeda.rutgers.edu
Postdoctoral Researcher.
I have a background of degrees in medicine and electronic engineering
before gaining a PhD in computational neuroscience at Edinburgh
University. My main area of interest is in creating biophysically
realistic models of the basal ganglia. My aim is to be able to use
these models to elucidate the mechanisms involved in basal ganglia
dysfunction and so provide guidance to research into diseases such
as Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Chorea.

I
graduated from the University of Rochester with a BA in Brain
and Cognitive Sciences and minors in Biology and Spanish. While
studying at Rochester I participated in a 5th year scholarship program
where I designed my own program of study, "The Development of Western
Culture". As a new student to the Integrative Neuroscience program
at Rutgers University, I am very excited to become a member of the
Gluck lab. After completing my PhD I plan to pursue teaching and
conduct research at the university level.

E-mail: awolff@chpnet.org
After graduating from Ithaca College in 2005 with a degree in psychology
I now work at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. Currently,
I am working on the Beth Israel and Rutgers University collaboration
study entitled "Learning, Memory and Decision Making in Movement Disorder
Patients". In the future I hope to obtain my PHD in counseling psychology. |

Marek Mandau,
M.S.:
(Joint with Delgado
Lab)
E-mail: mandau@psychology.rutgers.edu
As an undergraduate at Rutgers University, I sought
a curriculum that would enable me to learn about cognitive neuroscience.
I graduated with a B.A. in Biology (Psychology Minor), and an M.S.
in Biology from Rutgers University. At Rutgers I employed microscopy,
histology, and electrophysiology techniques to study the fish visual
system in vitro and in vivo. After defending my Master's thesis,
I spent 2 years at Rockefeller University investigating the effects
of novel opiates in the non-human primate model system in vivo using
PET, behavioral, and pharmacological (radioimmuno-) assays. I recently
joined the Delgado and Gluck labs at Rutgers-Newark in a joint effort
to explore the extent to which the striatum is involved in reinforcement
learning and the way in which prior information modulates learning
and decision-making using fMRI and experimental psychology applications.
After earning my doctorate degree, I would like to pursue studies
utilizing neuroimaging and
neurofeedback methods such as fMRI, EEG, and MEG to explore
brain computer interface (BCI) technologies to benefit people with
life-altering neurocognitive as well as physical sensory and motor
deficits.

Andreia
Da Costa (Neuropsychology):
E-mail: andreiad@pegasus.rutgers.edu
My name is Andreia and I am currently a Junior
in the Honors College at Rutgers Newark. I am majoring in Clinical
Lab Sciences and have been working with Gluck Labs since the summer
of my Freshman year. I have been working with my partner Payal on
Classical Eyeblink Conditioning, but will soon start work on a Learned
Irrelevance project.

Payal Trivedi (Neuropsychology):
E-mail: payalt@pegasus.rutgers.edu
As an Honors College
Biology major student, I hope to ultimately attain my childhood
dream of becoming an Emergency Room doctor while continuing to contribute
to research. Working under Dr. Myers and Dr. Servatius from UMDNJ/VA,
I along with my partner Andreia have spent quite some time working
on the Eyeblink Conditioning experiment with future plans in testing
learned irrelevance. Aside from spending my time in the lab, I work
part-time as a Pharmacy Technician at CVS Pharmacy in Kearny and
volunteer with the Ironbound EMT squad in Newark, as a certified
EMT Technician. I also will be assisting Dr. Morrison in the biology
lab as a biology peer tutor.

Priya Bolikal
(Neuropsychology):
E-mail: pbolikal@pegasus.rutgers.edu
I am a undergraduate student in the 7-Year BA/MD
Program with Rutgers University-Newark and New Jersey Medical School.
As a certified Emergency Medical Technician, I actively volunteer
at the Edison First Aid and Rescue Squad #2 in Edison, NJ and love
the first hand patient contact and experience that I get. My interest
in medicine and patient care has led me to the Gluck Lab because
of its striking projects on memory disorders. I am currently working
under Dr. Myers and learning as much as I can about neuroscience
and memory disorders.

Robb
Rutledge
E-mail: robb@nyu.edu I
am a graduate student in Paul Glimcher's lab at New York University.
I am interested in the role that dopamine plays in human decision-making.
I am doing experiments with the Gluck lab to determine how Parkinson's
disease and dopaminergic medication affect reinforcement learning
in a decision-making task.

Mahmood:
E-mail: hmahmood@pegasus.rutgers.edu
I am a third year Honors College student majoring
in Biology. I will start working in the lab under Dr. Gluck in the
fall. I have volunteered at St. Joseph's Hospital, assisting patients
and transporting them around various sectors of the hospital. I
have had previous
experience conducting Lyme Disease research at the International
Center for Public Health. Currently, I am working as a tutor at
the Rutgers Learning Center, specializing in chemistry. My love
for patient interaction, as well as my desire to learn, is why I
want to pursue
medicine as a career goal.
