A little introduction..... My name is Ericka and I am currently working on my dissertation disassociating the effects of ethanol exposure during prenatal vs. perinatal development on spatial orientation and gross-motor control.

Other interests include assessing the effects of acute (TBI, stroke, radiation, EtOH) and progressive (AD) brain damage on fine-motor control #StringPulling , gross-motor control #Gait , spatial orientation #OpenField #Navigation , and alterations to the brain #IHC. Happy to be here!
