Meagan Blanchard

Cognitive Neuroscience Graduate Student

I am a graduate student in Dr. Michael Bardo's lab where I look at social influences on drug seeking and taking in preclinical models. I also look at different environmental cues that can cause reinstatement/renewal of drug seeking behavior after a period of abstinence. I am interested in looking at these phenomena from a behavioral standpoint, but also from a neuroscience standpoint, looking at immunohistochemistry and fiber photometry.
