Faculty Profile of the Month

'Faculty Member of the Month'
Dr. Tracy Doucette

Dr. Tracy Doucette has been awarded a five year NSERC Discovery Grant for her research entitled: Changes in frontocortical function originating during brain development in the rat. This work will examine the effect of early life chemical intervention on subsequent changes in behavioural expression, including the increasingly interesting phenomenon of "vulnerability priming" of the central nervous system in relation to both adult cognition and cortical circuitry. Understanding this "priming" of CNS vulnerability is critical to explaining variability in adult behaviour including learning and memory.

Congratulations Dr. Doucette!
