Undergraduate student Adriana Carrillo (Neuroscience; Public Health) has been awarded "Best Student Poster" at the prestigious International Society for Serotonin Research 2025 Meeting.

Carrillo, who is pursuing dual degrees in Neuroscience and Public Health, was recognized for her groundbreaking research on the effects of psilocybin on GABAergic interneuron structural and synaptic plasticity.
