Social Impairment in Autism mouse models w/ Chino Eke

Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond

In this special episode of The Highlights, we interview Chino Eke, an undergraduate senior in the Neuroscience department. We discuss his senior thesis research, which was done with his advisor Professor Elizabeth Gould, a professor and researcher in the Princeton Neuroscience department focused on brain plasticity. Chino’s paper investigates two types of social impairments in Autism mouse models, and what this may tell us about the future of autism research.

This episode of The Highlights was produced under the 146th Managing Board of The Daily Princetonian. Chino Eke is a recent graduate in the Neuroscience department of Princeton University.
