Dr. Tracy Doucette and two UPEI researchers were awarded a US patent for creating an animal model to understand changes in brain development and function that lead to seizures in Epilepsy, a disorder that affects more than 50 million people worldwide. Her research focuses on the role of kainate receptors in learning, memory, and neurobehavioural development.
