Research

Hello! I’m Alyssa, but everyone calls me Ally! I am currently a first-year PhD student in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program at Yale University. I am interested in the interaction of different memory systems during long-term consolidation and memory updating, and the mechanisms that enable our brain to represent and remember abstract information. Outside of the lab, I am either at the gym, hanging out with my cat, or at East Rock Brewery!
