Brian Sadacca is an 6th-year student in the neuroscience graduate program @ brandeis university


he's busy studying brain dynamics,
looking at how regions of the brain interact to process natural rewards.: specifically, this means:

multi-electrode recording of single neurons and their summed activity via local field potentials

in both insular cortex and the central nucleus of the amygdala

looking at interactions between spikes/LFPs within each region and between both regions

in both the time and frequency domains

and looking at activity related to the value of a taste on the tongue,

with the value estimated by how fast a rat is willing to lick the taste from a spout

both under normal circumstances, and as modulated by changing salt and water balance

He can be found a couple of ways:

via email (sadacca at brandeis)

via real mail (brandeis university, MS008)

or in person (office and lab are on the 3rd floor of the bassine biology building)
