Allison Weinkle
I am a senior in Emory College pursuing a B.S. degree in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. I started in the summer of 2010 through Emory’s S.U.R.E. program and am currently working in Dr. Yoland Smith’s laboratory on my honors thesis. My research is focused on the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and the MPTP-treated non-human primate model’s role in the extrastriatal circuits involved in these symptoms. Specifically, I have been investigating the degree of denervation in MPTP-treated animals’ serotonergic and dopaminergic cortical projection systems.
