Aysha joined the lab in 2008 as a postdoc after
completing her PhD in Psychology from University of Virginia. Aysha made the interesting discovery that
the fast component of the motor memory was very likely neutrally distinct
from the slow component. She made this
inference by inventing a task in which she could selectively disrupt the fast
process via a task the engaged the declarative memory system. She wrote and successfully competed for an
NRSA postdoctoral grant. She
subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow at the NIH. Her results were published in the
following: A shared resource between declarative memory and motor memory. A Keisler and R Shadmehr (2010) Journal of Neuroscience 30:14915-14924. Abstract ThisWeekintheJournal |
