Elizabethtown College Psychology student Katie Carter’s ’21 Neuroscience Honors thesis earned the Psi Chi (National Honors Society for Psychology) Regional Research Scholarship Award. An abstract of the research was submitted to the Eastern Psychological Association and the American Psychological Sciences.
Carter’s abstract was selected from hundreds of submissions across six Psychological Regional Conferences, with only 90 awards being given each year.
Assistant Professor of Psychology Robert Wickham served as Carter’s research mentor for her project, which took neurochemical data collected from Yale University and assessed the effects of nicotine, menthol (a common additive to tobacco products), as well as the combination of both, on dopamine release in the rat brain.
