Melissa attended the “Sleep-Wake and Cognition – A Light in the Dark for Neurological Disorders” Impact Symposia on October 14th and 15th. This event allowed the opportunity to disseminate impactful research findings and highlight meaningful contributions in the field. A collaborator of Dr. Marty Usrey, Dr. Sabine Kaster gave a wonderful talk regarding oscillatory activity in the brain which is heightened during sleep and states of rest. This helped Melissa understand a bit more about the ongoing projects in the Usrey Lab. As well as this, Dr.

News flash: we have Catherine who will be traveling to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she will be representing UC Davis (and the Recanzone lab!!) at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS). Presenting her research "The Effect of Distractors on Auditory Temporal Discrimination in the Rhesus Macaque," she will be displaying her awesome progress to many brilliant scientists (during the middle of the quarter, isn't that wild?). 

The Recanzone lab would like to welcome it's new undergraduate affiliate Callahan Kincaid! Known to be academically built different, Callahan has joined us back in summer 2024 to complete his training and will now be officially joining his peers. 

By the way, did you know he published a paper on The Aggie Transcript titled "The Quiet Truth of Circadian Rhythm: Light and Phosphorylation?" If you think sleeping for 4 hours and drinking 2 cups of coffee everyday is completely normal, you might want to check this out!

Ever wonder what our former interns are doing after graduating? 🎓🎓🎓

Diana Polhac started in the Recanzone Lab as an Undergraduate Researcher very early in her career at UC Davis. Throughout her time here, she was mentored very closely by Dr. Recanzone. Despite the challenges of performing research during a global pandemic, she excelled at her research, receiving multiple prestigious awards, grants, and stipends. She even had the opportunity to present her findings in a professional poster. 

A presentation so good, we'd be scared if we had to present after her 😨

The Recanzone lab is thrilled to have our very own Catherine Zhang to present her research project called "Stereodisk" where she presents her findings along with Dr. Recanzone (the legend himself) on how aging affects the ability to distinguish sound frequencies/qualities with the addition of "distractor noises." So much progress made within the summer!

The Recanzone lab is thrilled to congratulate Catherine Zhang on joining the UC Davis Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (ADAR) program! This program aims to increase the diversity of undergraduate students planning on pursuing advanced degrees and research careers in aging-related fields. We can't wait to see the remarkable achievements Catherine will accomplish and present.

The Recanzone lab welcomes Yuri Kubo, Adoniyas Addis, and Catherine Zhang who join our team as new undergraduate interns! Following the successful completion of their training, our interns are enthusiastic and prepared to embark on their research endeavors with us. We look forward to their contributions they will bring to our scientific endeavors.

Hi! I'm Yuri and I am currently building my skills on managing this website. Stay tuned for more updates!

We are excited to share the Recanzone Lab logo with you all. We hope this imagery will be an eye-catching anchor that will attract bright minds, foster excitement for neuroscience research, and will communicate the lab's professionalism. Thank you to Ryan Large of UC Davis's Institute of Transportation Studies for his effort in creating this piece.

Our lab website has officially launched! We're ready to showcase our research to the UC Davis community and the world. The Recanzone Lab will continue to expand our knowledge of age-related hearing loss.
