Samantha Zenteno

I joined the Ricci Lab in July 2023. I studied psychology and neurobiology at UC Berkeley and graduated in 2022. I arrived at Stanford as a REACH post-baccalaureate scholar and spent my first year researching the connection between depression and cognitive dysfunction. At Ricci Lab, I am interested in the association between hearing loss and cognitive impairment. I am currently working on a behavioral project that will examine the role of sensory weighting in the degree of impairment following hair cell ablation in mice.
