VARUN SINHA, UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER, DEPT. OF BIOLOGY

I am a Senior majoring in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience and minoring in Psychology and Biomedical Physics. I find it fascinating that the brain is constantly able to take in so much information from the outside world and simultaneously is able to maintain consistent function. I am also interested in the role sleep plays in maintaining consistent function of the brain.

In lab I am exploring how deficiencies in long term potentiation effect performance in complex neuro-ethological task.

In my free time, I enjoying running, playing basketball and playing Scrabble.
