.One of the most mysterious functions of the brain is its ability to form a memory of an experience, said Dr. Mengni Wang, a recent neuroscience graduate of the UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. To understand how this happens, she studied how spatial memory is formed when a rat explores an environment. For this research, Dr. Wang was selected for a Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award. Given by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, the award recognizes outstanding achievement in graduate studies in the biological sciences. It includes an honorarium and a certificate. Thirteen award recipients were chosen this year from among nominations received internationally.
