Quoted trainees and their work

Anthony Burgos-Robles	(former Undergraduate and PhD student) Identified extinction-induced NMDA-dependent burst firing in IL neurons, and characterized PL activity in fear conditioning. He is now a post-doctoral fellow at MIT.
Angelica Minier-Toribio	(former Undergraduate) Identified a role of PVT-accumbens projections in reward-omission (frustration). She completed her post-baccalaureate training at NIDA and is now a graduate student at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.
Annelyn Torres-Reveron	(former PhD student) Worked on extinction of cocaine addiction in the early days of the lab. She is now an Assistant Professor at University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
Alexis Vega-Medina	(former Post-baccalaureate) Worked on BDNF signaling in extinction of avoidance. He is now a post-baccalaureate trainee at Univ. of Michigan.
Christian Bravo-Rivera	(former Undergraduate and PhD student) Developed the platform-mediated active avoidance task and characterized prefrontal-striatal-amygdala involvement in avoidance. He is now a post-doctoral fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.
David Anglada	(former PsyD student) Studied the role of the basolateral amygdala in extinction. After completing a clinical post-doc, he served as Director of Mental Health services for several community health centers in Santa Rosa, CA, and is a pastor of an evangelical Christian church.
Demetrio Sierra-Mercado	(former PhD student) Characterized prefrontal-amygdala-hippocampal roles in fear expression and extinction, using pharmacological and recording techniques. He is now an Assistant Professor at UPR School of Medicine.
Estefanía Gonzáles-Araya	(former Undergraduate) Worked on an avoidance-based rat model of OCD symptoms. She is now in a Post-baccalaureate program at NIMH.
Fabiola Gonzalez-Diaz	(current Undergraduate) She is examining the role of the prelimbic cortex and its projections in active avoidance using optogenetic techniques.
Freddyson Martinez-Rivera	(former Post-doctoral fellow) Worked on circuits of persistent avoidance using anatomical, immunocytochemical (ICC) and optogenetic techniques. He is now a post-doctoral fellow at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.
Gabriela Manzano Nieves	(former Undergraduate) Used optogenetics to revisit the role of infralimbic cortex in fear extinction. She is in the neuroscience doctoral training program at Brown University.
Hector Bravo-Rivera	(current PhD student) Developing new behavioral tasks for the study of approach-avoidance conflict in both monkeys and rats.
Jorge Iravedra-García	(current Undergraduate) Is working on role of different prelimbic circuits in expression of active avoidance.
Jose Rodriguez-Romaguera	(former Undergraduate and PhD student) Studied deep brain stimulation (DBS) modulation of fear extinction and developed a rodent model of ERP therapy for OCD. He is now a post-doctoral fellow at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Kelvin Quiñones-Laracuente	(current MD/PhD student) Studies time-dependent changes in circuits of fear retrieval with unit recording and optogenetic techniques.
Maria M. Diehl	(current Post-doctoral fellow) Identified a prelimbic signal of avoidability and is characterizing the role of prelimbic projections in expression of active avoidance.
Mohammed R. Milad	(former PhD student) Identified infralimbic signaling of fear extinction in rats. As a post-doctoral fellow and faculty member of Harvard-MGH, he transferred rodent extinction models to human anxiety disorders. He is now a Professor at University of Illinois at Chicago.
Patricia A. Rubio	(former Post-baccalaureate) Was the first in the lab to study female rats, characterizing their response to approach-avoidance conflict. She is now a doctoral student in the neuroscience program of Northeastern University.
Patricia Hernandez	(former PsyD student) Worked on anatomical differences in infralimbic cortex correlated with extinction. She was then a clinical post-doctoral fellow in Iowa and has served an inpatient Psychologist in Puerto Rico.
