Current Lab Members
Kajol Sontate
I am an International Graduate student pursuing a PhD degree in the Neuroscience program. I have been a part of Loney lab since October 2021. Currently, I am working on a project that involves elucidating the mechanistic role dopaminergic innervation of the insular cortex on pavlovian conditioning with alcohol- and opioid-associated cues. I received my MS degree studying the neurobiology of substance use disorders from SUNY Buffalo in 2023. Apart from academics I love cooking, singing, painting and most other things that involve art.
