Dr. Mamiya is a research scientist working with Dr. Patricia Kuhl on how dopamine and serotonin mediates language learning through modulation of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex. She earned her Ph.D. in Department of Biopsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University where she investigated the dysfunctions of dopamine and serotonin systems in EphA5 knockout animal, and developed a nanofiber system to enhance the growth of dopaminergic neurons.
