This presentation takes everything from the first two sessions and puts it into a real research design. You walk through a study with three groups of mice. One is a control group. One lives under chronic stress. One has stress plus enrichment.

Students see how you would measure both behavior and synapses, what you predict will change in the orbitofrontal cortex to ventral striatum pathway, and how that ties back to human resilience. The goal is for them to walk away thinking recovery is not a slogan. It is something you can test, see, and measure.
