I am a Neuroscience graduate student at Emory University. My thesis work is on how input to the amygdala changes with fear conditioning. I am using the olfactory system as a model for sensory input, so many of my articles are on smell. I am also involved in Wikipedia:WikiProject Science. Another Wikipedia goal is to have an article on every neuroscientist who has won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (list of articles). In addition to Wikipedia, I'm also addicted to my LiveJournal [1] (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sayeth/) and Sluggy Freelance [2] (http://www.sluggy.com). If you'd like to contact me, leave a comment on User talk:Sayeth.
