Cheryl D. Conrad, Ph.D.

Studied the morphological and behavioral changes that occur due to stress in rats. In

my honors research project, investigated what subject-dependent factors make

individuals susceptible to the effects of chronic stress. Additional projects under my

supervision included the effects of stress on memory retrieval.
