I’m studying how the brain works on various levels; this blog chronicles some of my informal notes along the way. I previously went to Vassar College, majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior with a minor in Math. Now I work at a biology lab in Maryland. I appreciate any feedback that you may have, good or bad. You can email me at amckenz at g mail dot com.
