Adria Martig  
 
Biography
 
Adria Martig received her PhD in 2010 from the University of Washington, where she studied in the Department of Psychology. During her time in the department, Adria trained in electrophysiology to study neural correlates of episodic memory with Dr. Sheri Mizumori. Adria's dissertation investigated the interactions between midbrain dopamine structures and hippocampus using rodent models of spatial navigation.
 
Adria joined the Moghaddam Lab in 2011 as a postdoctoral researcher. Her current work uses electrophysiology techniques to investigate the functional role of endocannabinoids in network interactions between cortical and striatal structures during adolescence.
