Neuroscience Laboratory
at Baldwin-Wallace College
Current Lab Members and Laboratory Alumni
The neuroscience laboratory is a place where biology, psychology, and chemistry students come together with faculty to study the brain. Under Dr. Mickley’s direction since 1993, the lab has focused on the study of how the brain learns and remembers. With funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Mickley and his students have been studying the learning capacity of fetuses and neonates and how the brain changes to allow memory formation in this perinatal period. Recent studies also address the role that various brain nuclei and neurochemicals play in extinction learning and forgetting.
Students that work in the neuroscience laboratory have an opportunity to become full partners in the planning as well as the conduct of the experiments. Lab alumni have been very successfully placed in graduate schools, medical schools, and veterinary schools or directly into the workforce of science.
