ALT Quote from Ray Vaca: "Recent studies have shown that these drugs cause neuroplasticity. The exact mechanisms underlying these neuroplastic effects are unknown, though there are a number of competing hypotheses. My work has the potential to fill some gaps in our understanding of how these drugs work by using a simpler, yet living animal."

ALT Quote from Oliver Glomb, PhD: "The concentration of researchers in one place that are so passionate for their science makes this place very exciting and helped me to progress very fast with my project. The number of seminars, both to become inspired by the work of my colleagues as well as to receive feedback on my own work, make the research at Yale outstanding."
