Tara Neddersen (Tahoura Nedaee) is currently pursuing both her B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience and her M.S. in biology at Stanford University. In her previous research, she focused on exploring the neural mechanisms behind memory processes. She was named Woman Inventor of the Year in 2019 for her innovative contributions to Neurology. Currently, she is working with Dr. Florian Donneger in the Soltesz Lab, focusing on the role of endocannabinoid signaling in spatial navigation.

Ying and Jayashri are currently rotating in our lab during her studies.

We are excited for you to see you one step closer to your MD/PhD. Cheers!

Ivan Soltesz and his colleagues have found that a marijuana-like chemical in the brain calms epileptic seizures but also increases memory loss. […]

Mahad is a medical student at Stanford. He graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Neuroscience. He now plan to work with Dr. Farrell to investigate the role of the medial mamillary body in spatial cognition, as well as in the encoding and retrieval of memory.
