Lab Rat Chat - Episode 28 with Dr. Amanda Vanderplow
In this episode of Lab Rat Chat, Danielle and Jeff chat with Dr. Amanda Vanderplow, a PhD research scientist in the Cahill Lab of Neuroscience Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She studies dendritic spine plasticity and how synaptic alterations contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders. In other words, she much smarter than the rest of us. One of her current research projects discovers a potential link between sleep apnea and autism-like behaviors. This could be one of those breakthrough discoveries that allows us to prevent and/or reduce the rising prevalence of autism-like behaviors in society today, and we have Dr. Vanderplow, her team, and her rats, to thank for discovering this link.
