FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL: Magnus Opus and Exigence > HDAC5 Overexpression in the Dorsolateral Striatum on the Behavioral Response to Size-Delay Tasks

AUDIENCE: This write up will be for the PI of the lab that I’m working in and graduate student heading the project, contributing the introduction and methods for the preliminary draft of a paper for publication.

CONTEXT: The introduction provides a background and hypothesis for my project. What is unique is that the project is a collaboration between our lab that works with electrophysiologial recordings and the other that works with epigenetic modifications, and my write up will mainly describe the intersection of the two. The methods will overview the tests employed for the model being testing.

PURPOSE: This write up will support the lab’s work, identifying neural correlates involved in behavioral alterations as a result of chronic drug use. In particular, the project will delve into epigenetic adaptions and their role in decision-making.

DESIGN/FORMAT: Standard 7-10 page professional draft

CITATION STYLE: The documentation will include an annotated bibliography with citations in APA.

Looks like a great plan, A. Make sure that you meet the PI and lab needs, and I will be a happy eavesdropping reader.

Do you have a lab book? How are results or tasks recorded? Students often need help with documentation.
