About
Hi! My name is Katie Kuang and I am current junior in high school. I want to be a neuroscientist, and am determined to someday contribute valuable research in the field. I work with my mentor Lee on a Dopamine Review Article, which I hope will give me more insight on future research I hope to complete. Overall, I'm just here to have fun.Projects

Abstract or project description
Katie is writing a review paper introducing dopamine and it's complexities. It will begin with an overview of what dopamine is (at a high level), cover debates and disagreements within various fields when it comes to defining and studying dopamine, and dive into the effects of deficiencies vs excess of dopamine, and how this presents psychologically and physically.
