Amy Than is a PhD student in the UCLA Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physiology and Neuroscience from UC San Diego. She has done clinical research at the California Smokers’ Helpline and behavioral neuroscience research at the Scripps Research Institute where she became interested in how the brain perceives and interacts with the world. At the SCAN lab, Amy is working with Dr. Green to study the neural mechanisms of sensory processing, the developmental trajectories of social versus sensory reactivity, and the dynamic networks that regulate sensory over-responsivity in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
