L. Dailey Nettles, BS
laura.nettles@cuanschutz.edu
Graduate student, Neuroscience
Dailey is a Neuroscience PhD Candidate at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studying the role of myelin in motor cortex circuit function. She received her BS in Neuroscience from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she trained in the lab of Gwendalyn King, PhD. She is co-mentored by Cristin Welle, PhD and Ethan Hughes, PhD. Using a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis, she implements chronic and acute in vivo extracellular recording arrays to quantify changes to M1 neuronal activity, and 3D kinematic analysis to evaluate alterations in skilled reach performance. Outside of lab, Dailey enjoys scientific outreach, knitting, quilting, competitive baking, and spending time with her husband Alex, son Paul, and dog Lorelai. She is currently exploring postdoctoral research opportunities.
