Megan Rabe hails from Clarksville, Maryland, and is a senior at Duke University. She studies neuroscience and psychology because she is fascinated by how the brain gives rise to the mind, and especially the neurobiological underpinnings of mental health and addictive disorders. She is grateful to have been welcomed into the Swartzwelder Lab, as she believes addiction science research will provide valuable insights into the detrimental effects (and possible ways to heal from them) of substance abuse on the mind and well-being. Megan hopes to pursue a career in psychiatry or pediatric neurology. She enjoys reading, playing violin, spending quality time with friends and family, and finding the best local cafe in every new place she travels to.

Is there a specific reason you chose four male and four female mice for the treatment groups with AIW and AIE? I know that, in humans at least, males and females process alcohol in a physically different way. Did this consideration affect how you choice mouse subjects?
