Ph.D., Neuroscience & Behavior, University of Massachusetts, 2006
Bob has recorded from Purkinje Cells (PCs) in awake, behaving rabbits trained using a temporal uncertainty paradigm. A tone CS is presented, reinforced at one of two ISIs. This produces a bimodal response from the rabbit. He is presently working on the Cartesion Reflex Project.
June-Seek Choi (june-seek.choi@yale.edu)
Ph.D., Neuroscience & Behavior, University of Massachusetts, 1999
Left in spring 1999 for Thomas H. Brown's lab at Yale University, New Haven, CT.
June-Seek demonstrated in his dissertation work that single cells in the deep cerebellar Nucleus Interpositus exhibited firing patterns appropriate to both ITI time periods in a rabbit trained to produce a bimodal eyelid response.
