Neuroscience Graduate Student
Amanda is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Graduate School. Her research focuses on characterizing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Disorders of Consciousness (DOCs) using a rodent model of severe brain injury. Her research utilizes behavioral tests to determine the impact of a secondary blast injury on cognition and motor skills, as well as computational imaging techniques to discern the degree of damage in brain regions and pathways affected by the injury. Prior to graduate school, Amanda earned her Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.
