Doctoral student Bridgitte Côté has received a prestigious grant of $67,000 from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the impact of chronic stress on the brain. This significant funding will support her research endeavors as she works closely with her mentors, Dr. Matthew Hearing and Dr. Robert Wheeler.
Côté, who is pursuing her Ph.D. in neuroscience, aims to deepen the understanding of how prolonged stress can alter brain function and potentially lead to various mental health issues. Her research is particularly timely, given the increasing prevalence of stress-related disorders in today’s society.
With her undergraduate degree from Arizona State University, Côté has laid a strong foundation in the field of neuroscience. This grant not only highlights her potential as a researcher but also underscores the importance of studying the intricate relationship between stress and brain health. The findings from her research could pave the way for new therapeutic approaches to mitigate the effects of chronic stress.
