معرفی
Dominique Pritchett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Howard University, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying associative learning, particularly in the cerebellum, exploring synaptic plasticity and functional connections with the neocortex and basal ganglia. He employs optogenetics and electrophysiological techniques in his studies.
Education: B.S. from Virginia State University (2004), Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2012).
Research Interests:
- Cerebellar circuitry and learning
- Synaptic plasticity and oscillations
- Neurobiological basis of cognitive functions
Publications highlight advancements in understanding gamma-band oscillations, NMDA receptor roles, and cerebellar-basal ganglia interactions. Recent work emphasizes hippocampal network dynamics and auditory cortex connectivity in bats.
