Ms. Olivia Munk, a Bronx High School of Science student who spent the previous two summers (and many weeknights and weekends) working in Dr. Brumberg's laboratory has been selected as an Intel SemiFinalist. Her project "Environment Dependent Dendritic Alterations" demonstrated how an animal's sensory experience can impact the structure of the cerebral cortex and that environmental enrichment can work to ameliorate some effects of early sensory deprivation.
