Bio: Hello. My name is Sacred Moseley. I am a 3rd Year Biological Sciences Student conducting research in Chesler Lab. I aspire to be a Neurosurgeon years from now. I am interested in cooking, visiting museums, and drawing.

Project Description: Previously, the Baram group has found that early-life adversity (ELA) alters reward circuitry and contributes to disrupted reward behaviors in mice that underlie major emotional disorders in mice. We sought to investigate whether ELA has cardiovascular consequences in mice. We previously concluded that ELA on its own does yield cardiovascular consequences and that a “second hit” is required to invoke a measure consequence. In future work, we will continue to use the ELA mice model and experiment with possible “second hits” to continue to investigate the connection between ELA and the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
