Biobserve data analysis
August 4, 2025
I started analyzing maze data using Biobserve zones to detect frequency of the different paths the mice took.
Birthday dinner with my friends

I had my friends over for a birthday dinner and I grilled flank steak, bbq chicken, and cooked creamy orzo, caprese plate, watermelon feta mint salad, and an arugula, lemon, basil salad.
Beam breakers!

Finally received the package for the beam breakers and inlaid them into the entrance walls of the maze with the external circuit.
Designing the external circuit

I designed the external circuit for the maze dispenser to control the beam breakers and pellet dispensers, but coded it first for a button while waiting for the beam breakers to arrive.
Slicing mice brains
June 27, 2025
I've sliced many many mouse brains using the vibratome and stained them with GFPs to visualize the mPFC neural circuits. Here's a few regions I sliced and mounted today.
Improved RuleDuino
June 2025
Reverse engineered and improved the "RuleDuino." This device is used widely in our lab to record live data and laser stimulate target regions of the brain during behavioral experiments. After figuring out the schematic, I designed the most optimal layout within the constraints of the cardboard box being the vessel, and created a "RuleDuino" with a more stable structure with a cleaner appearance.
